The Leeds United defender has struggled for game time since making his return from Elland Road in the summer.
He has found himself as a secondary option in Daniel Farke’s side, making just four appearances in the league for the Yorkshire outfit.
The 21-year-old could seek a loan move in January, with a number of Championship sides all eyeing a move for the defender, including Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers and Ipswich Town.
However, it remains to be seen whether Leeds can be convinced to sanction a deal for the centre-back as the team pushes for promotion to the Premier League.
Carlton Palmer: “Difficult situation for Daniel Farke”
Carlton Palmer believes that Leeds are in a difficult position with Cresswell, as he does provide defensive cover that could be important in the second half of the season.
However, he has claimed that a move to Middlesbrough in January might be the best next step for the player at this stage of his career as it would guarantee him regular playing time.
“Daniel Farke has repeatedly said Leeds won’t allow Charlie Cresswell to go out on loan,” Palmer told Football League World.
