At 23, O'Dowda is beginning to perform consistently with the Robins and was impressive in a poor Ireland side when he appeared towards the end of Martin O'Neill's tenure.
With bare stats, he has just two goals and three assists in the league for Bristol City so far this season but his form has been influential and the club sit two points adrift of the playoffs, in seventh place in the Championship.
Now, it seems that he might have a choice: to keep fighting and leading for Bristol, or join the Leeds juggernaut which looks unlikely to be stopped on its mission for the Premier League.

Sky Sports reporter Tim Thornton revealed that Marcelo Bielsa is seeking the acquisition of O'Dowda in the January transfer window whilst the reputable Phil Hay from the Yorkshire Evening Post confirmed the link.
Leeds normally operate with Ezgjan Alioski and Pablo Hernandez as their wide players but have sometimes adopted a 3-4-3 formation too, such is the tactical flexibility of the manager.
In their systems and with the intensity of their football, O'Dowda would have plenty of opportunities for game time and he has proven that he can even play more in-field in a central role as he has done to exciting effect with Ireland in the last year.
The news isn't something that pleases Bristol City fans though.
