Johnson started in West Ham’s 0-0 draw with Brighton earlier this month, but it was only his second league appearance this season and his first in the Premier League.
The defender’s current contract expires at the end of the season and he rejected an offer from the Hammers for a new contract.
Leeds have lost Jed Spence and Luke Ayling, while manager Daniel Farke is interested in signing Johnson as he looks to add a full-back to his current squad.
However, despite his contract situation, Leeds are hoping to send him out on loan this month.
