The 21-year-old made his senior debut for Leeds last season, but could be on his way out of Elland Road before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month.
Sunderland are interested in acquiring Huggins’ services and are said to have opened negotiations with the Yorkshire-based club over a potential deal for the right-back.
While the Black Cats have held talks with Leeds, there have been contradicting claims regarding if the negotiations were around a loan deal or a permanent transfer.
It appears Sunderland have discussed both a season-long loan deal and a potential permanent transfer for a six-figure fee for the Wales Under-21 international.
Leeds, who have also received an offer from Championship club Blackburn Rovers to take Huggins on loan, could feel the time is right to sell him.
Should the Whites decide to sell Huggins than loan him out, Sunderland could look to reach an agreement with the Premier League club over a six-figure fee.
Huggins is due to have a medical with the Black Cats today it is said that there is a chance a deal will be agreed before Sunderland’s match against AFC Wimbledon this weekend.
