England U17 starlet Mason Cotcher chooses Ipswich Town over Leeds United despite the Whites lucrative offer

Leeds United had England youth attacker Mason Cotcher on trial earlier in 2024 and even offered him a contract,

but he has since joined Ipswich Town.

Leeds’ investment in young talent in recent years has been a huge success,

whether it’s Craig Dean’s work as head of youth recruitment or various scouts discovering jewels across Europe.

The bargain signing of Crysencio Summerville in 2020 exemplifies the long-term benefits of this transfer scheme.

Leeds placed Mason Cotcher on trial and gave him a contract.

Mason Cotcher, an England youth international, was one of Leeds’ most recent transfer targets for the junior setup,

having turned down the opportunity to sign professional terms with Sunderland to consider his alternatives.

He went through trial periods at Arsenal, Manchester United, and Leeds,

indicating that he does not want to make a hasty decision at this point in his career.

According to the Telegraph, Leeds were thrilled with the dynamic forward’s two goals in four appearances for the club and offered him a permanent contract.

Transfer twist: Cotcher now on trial with Ipswich Town – report

Leeds appeared to have landed their man, with a contract on the table,

and they now appear to be waiting for Cotcher to to make his decision.

Sunderland would be entitled to compensation from any team that signed Cotcher,

as the Tractor Boys become the latest club to enter the running.

Leeds need to play the waiting game on Cotcher

Leeds have often demonstrated that there is a road for youthful talent to reach the grade, and Cotcher will be aware of this.

The way he evaluates his options is intriguing, since he is clearly a wanted man who does not want to make a hasty decision.

Where he goes remains to be seen, but I’m confident in our possibilities since we have a setup that would have impressed him.
