The right-back, who made his debut for Leeds back in December 2015 has struggled to breakthrough to the first team since given the form of last summer signing Luke Ayling in the position.
He could now be set for his second loan spell of his career after spending time with Harrogate in 2014 in a bid to gain more senior experience.
In the last campaign under former manager Garry Monk, Coyle managed to play just 10 matches in all competitions with four of those appearances coming in the Championship.
He still has two years remaining on his contract at Elland Road and if it is announced that he has joined Fleetwood, who finished in fourth place in England’s third tier last season then he will be looking to take the opportunity to showcase his talents and potentially give Ayling some competition for the right-back position in the future.
