Five possible Premier League destinations for Leeds star Sam Byram

The Toffees have been long-term admirers of Byram and, with Seamus Coleman likely to move on next summer with the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG and top Premier League sides after him, the Whites graduate is a perfect fit.

Veteran clubman Tony Hibbert’s playing career is surely coming to an end soon too, so Roberto Martinez will need to think about replacements.

Newcastle United
Netherlands defender Daryl Janmaat is Steve McClaren’s first choice right back but, with the Magpies win-less this season in the Premier League and down in 19th, they’ll need to bring in fresh talent, perhaps as soon as January.

The Toon are in desperate need of British players, and Byram can certainly shine and may not even have to relocate with Newcastle also being in the Northeast.

Norwich City

Newly-promoted Norwich have a habit of snapping up Leeds stars, with the likes of Jonny Howson, Bradley Johnson, Luciano Becchio and Robert Snodgrass all making the move in recent seasons.

The Canaries (7/2 for relegation) do have cover at right back and on the wing, but Byram would certainly add extra quality to the team and would link-up with fellow Whites graduate Howson, who is still at the East Anglia club.

Southampton
South coast side Southampton (5/1 for a top six finish) have done a wonderful job nurturing young English talent in the past few years, including right backs Nathaniel Clyne and Calum Chambers, who have now been sold on for high fees.

They currently have Portugal’s Cedric Soares and Cuco Martina in that area, but Byram could give them a run for their money.

Tottenham
Spurs have signed their fair share of Yorkshiremen in recent seasons, with Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton, Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon all having turned out for the club.

Although Byram was born in Essex, he was brought up and schooled in York, but he can now return closer to home with Walker injury prone and Kieran Trippier yet to shine.
