Pennington a target for Leeds and Wigan

Everton defender Matthew Pennington is a wanted man this Summer, with both Leeds and Wigan looking at loan deals for the defender.

The Liverpool Echo report that both Leeds United and Wigan Athletic are interested in loaning the defender this season, and bringing him to the Championship.

Pennington spent last season on loan at Elland Road, making 24 appearances as Leeds struggled to a bottom half finish.

However, with Marcelo Bielsa in charge, Leeds have been touted with promotion and could re-sign Pennington to begin their charge back to the Premier League.

Wigan have also taken an interest in Pennington, but have only made an enquiry on a possible short-term deal. Leeds interest remains after his loan spell at the club last season.

Pennington has featured in Marco Silva’s plans in pre-season for Everton but is likely to be loaned out again to get more first team experience in the Championship.
