Leeds United are not letting up in their pursuit of Lewis O'Brien.

Reports from Football Insider have claimed that the Huddersfield Town midfielder has been the subject of a formal offer from the Premier League side which has since been rejected by the Terriers.

The 22-year-old is attracting such interest after impressing for the Yorkshire side and entering into the final 12 months of his contract.

Huddersfield are said to value O'Brien at £10million, but how much is he actually worth?

The team at FLW have their say... Alfie Burns I think reports of Huddersfield valuing O’Brien around the £10m mark are about right. O’Brien is only 22 and has a lot of potential, with effectively two years on his deal still at the John Smith’s Stadium. Huddersfield aren’t in a position where they are pushed to sell and, as he’s their best player, they won’t do a deal with Leeds on the cheap. £10m would be decent business for them, offering them financial security and a little bit of free cash to find a replacement. In all honesty, it could be decent business for Leeds too. Under Marcelo Bielsa, O’Brien would develop and, in two or three years, could look a bit of a snip at £10m. The issue is that Leeds maybe don’t see O’Brien as a player to impact the first-team straight away, which leaves them playing a waiting game with the eight-figure fee they’d be ploughing into him. I’d urge them to pay it if they really want the midfielder. It’s a long-term investment and a good deal for everyone involved. Sam Rourke In my eyes, he's worth £7m-10m. O'Brien has emerged as one of Huddersfield Town's most prized assets and has become a consistent figure in the heart of the Terriers' midfield. He's an energetic, tenacious midfielder that is not afraid to do the dirty work but at the same time offers an impressive passing skillset, and is effective in both an attacking and defensive sense. O'Brien has firmly got age on his side with him only 22, so Huddersfield know they can use this as leverage in-terms of their valuation and as aforementioned, I think if the Terriers could receive anything from £7m to £10m, they have to consider offloading him. He certainly has the potential to cut it in the top-flight and his playing style would fit in with Biela's high-intensity, pressing nature, so you do feel the ball is in Huddersfield's court in-terms of getting the best price for their man. Adam Jones The full £10m, nothing less. Leeds United may only use him as a squad player, but he's a vital cog to Huddersfield Town's machine. His contract may be up next summer, but the club still hold the option of triggering an extra year on his contract so they should continue to hold out for as much money for him as possible. At 22, there's still a lot of room for improvement and under a world-class manager like Marcelo Bielsa, he is only likely to get better as he adapts to the Whites' system in the Premier League. He won't just be used as a squad player as well, he will probably be seen as Mateusz Klich's long-term replacement with the Polish international being one of the more senior players at Elland Road, aged 31. If O'Brien's contract was due to run out next summer with no option to extend, then the picture would be completely different. However, he's unlikely to actively push for a move after spending so many years at the Terriers, coming through as an academy graduate at the John Smith's Stadium. This, combined with their option to extend his deal by a further 12 months, has given the Championship side the upper hand over Leeds at this point. And this is why they should continue to take a tough stance if they return to the negotiating table.
