    Good Morning. It's Tuesday 14th January, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

    Gelhardt set for Hull move

    Joe Gelhardt will join Hull City on loan until the end of the season after passing his medical at their University training campus yesterday.

    Joffy has fallen down the pecking order at Elland Road over the past several years. He enjoyed a somewhat successful spell at Sunderland two years ago, but injuries to key players meant he was played out of position.

    He has played just nine minutes of game time all season prompting criticism why the 22yo wasn't sent out on loan during the Summer. He will be keen to get minutes under his belt given he's got less than 18 months left on his contract. He'll team up with former Whites Lewie Coyle and Cody Drameh.

    Crew off to Donny

    League two side Doncaster Rovers are on the verge of signing Welsh International Midfielder Charlie Crew until the end of the season.

    Manager Grant McCann believes the 18yo's combative style in the middle of the park is the "missing piece" to bolster their promotion push this season. They sit in seventh place, but are only three points shy of automatic promotion.

    Crew's signature is seen as a major boost for Donny, and he's tipped to be included in the squad for their upcoming fixture against Gillingham this weekend. Rovers fans will be eager to see how the new signing integrates into the team.

    Spurs stalwart hotly tipped for Leeds move

    There are strong rumours circulating around Elland Road that Leeds are set sign Ben Davies from Tottenham Hotspur on-loan until the end of the season.

    The versatile defender has fallen down the pecking order at N17 and will be looking for a new club in the Summer when his contract expires, bringing an end to his eleven year tenure. A move to Elland Road wouldn't be the worst idea as long as his parent club pay the majority of his £80,000 per week salary.

    Fellow Welsh Internationals Joe Rodon, Karl Darlow, Ethan Ampadu and Dan James would undoubtedly make him feel welcome at Leeds, not to mention Spurs team-mate Manor Solomon. Davies turns 32 in April, and is desperate for first team football, but will he be willing to drop to the Championship?

    Morning all

    As Joffy is only going out on loan, I’m assuming it means we won’t be replacing him with a money signing, maybe loan option to buy

    Leeds striker Patrick Bamford is on a "long list" of players Blackburn Rovers are looking at as potential signings in January. (Lancashire Telegraph)

    Who, in their right mind, would look to take on Bamford??? Every time he does kick a ball he ends up with a sick note.

    [Date]

    [Club Name] [Club Address]

    Subject: Patrick Bamford - Medical Absence

    Dear [Club Official Name],

    This letter is to confirm that Patrick Bamford is unfortunately unable to participate in today's match due to a recurring injury.

    [Optional: Briefly mention the type of injury, e.g., "He is experiencing ongoing discomfort in his [body part] and requires further medical assessment."]

    We understand the importance of today's match and are disappointed that Patrick will be unable to contribute.

    Sincerely,

    [Mother's Name]
