Leeds and Villa battling for young Watford striker Cassidy

Aston Villa and Leeds United are among the teams looking at young Watford striker Ryan Cassidy.

According to the Mirror, both teams are interested in the striker as he continues to impress within the youth ranks at the Premier League club.

Cassidy is a Republic of Ireland youth international and his performances are not going unnoticed, regardless of his tender age.

The striker scored 25 goals at youth level in his first season for Watford and his form has alerted a number of clubs.

Any deal to sign Cassidy will be difficult, given that he has already penned a professional deal with the Hornets. The report claims any move would cost at least £1 million.

However, the report claims that Watford are keen to extend that original deal further already, despite only previously agreeing terms back in March.

It is claimed that new talks over a contract extension are yet to start, which has sparked interest from rival clubs.
