Huddersfield Town have had a £1.5 million bid rejected for former Manchester United midfielder Ethan Galbraith.
The former academy product made one appearance for the Red Devils against FC Astana in the Europa League in 2019.
He could not force his way into the first team set up at Old Trafford and moved to Leyton Orient in 2023.
The 24 year old has been one of the League One team’s standout players this season and played a crucial role in them reaching the playoff final. They would sadly go on to lose 0-1 to Charlton Athletic.
Galbraith scored six goals and provided eight assists in 51 games for Orient this season as he was an ever-present in their line-up.
The Northern Ireland international’s fine form has been recognised by Championship sides and Sheffield United and Swansea City have both been linked to the player in recent days.
The News Letter reports that “League One outfit Huddersfield Town are the latest club to have a £1.5 million bid rejected for Northern Ireland star Ethan Galbraith.”
The player is in high-demand as Charlton reportedly had a £1.5 million bid rejected last weekend for him.
Leyton Orient’s manager Richie Wellens has been full of praise for the former United man lately.
He claimed that Galbraith “is a Premier League player in the making and younger players who watch him can see how strong he is in his running. He’s unbelievable and he’s brilliant.”
Wellens also stated that, “we’ve got loads of young players that should be watching him and going ‘he’s intense there, he’s always running, he’s always at it’.”
Therefore, it will be interesting to see how long Leyton Orient can hold on to their rising star. The pressure to sell is only intensified by the fact that he has one year remaining on his current deal at Brisbane Road.
