The 29-year-old has primarily built his career in the Premier League, having played for Southampton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle in England’s elite division.
Nevertheless, he has been sidelined at St James’ Park this season, making only two senior appearances.
As per reports from The Athletic, Leeds have sought information about the former England under-21 international’s availability.
This transfer window has been relatively quiet for Leeds at Elland Road, with the notable departures of Charlie Crew and Joe Gelhardt on loan being the only significant actions.
Whites manager Daniel Farke has emphasized that the club will adopt a reactive approach in the transfer market, and they have yet to make any signings.
Targett is naturally a left-back, a role currently occupied by Junior Firpo within the Leeds squad in recent seasons.
However, Sam Byram has been filling in during Firpo’s absence due to injury.
Given that Firpo’s contract concludes at the end of the season, there are uncertainties surrounding the club’s left-back situation.
It is believed that Newcastle would entertain offers for Targett, as Lewis Hall has emerged as the favored left-back under Eddie Howe.
