This might cheers a few people up ... http://www.insidefutbol.com/2016/01...as-hellas-verona-chase-leeds-defender/262009/ Leeds United chairman Massimo Cellino has demanded a fee of between £4m and £5m for defender Giuseppe Bellusci after he attracted interest from a number of Italian clubs this month. Several Italian sides are monitoring Bellusci's situation at Elland Road, while Hellas Verona have submitted a concrete enquiry for the defender. Cellino though is not willing to allow Bellusci to leave and according to Sky Italia, has responded by telling Verona that a fee of between £4m and £5m will be needed to secure the player this month. If the Leeds supremo does not soften his stance it appears unlikely Bellusci will be leaving Elland Road in the current transfer window. The defender himself is claimed to be open to heading back to his homeland, if Leeds can thrash out an agreement with an interested party. The situation could also be complicated by Leeds having just lost their head of recruitment, Martyn Glover, meaning talks over a deal are more likely to go through Cellino, who is not keen to sell. Bellusci is a controversial figure at Elland Road with a number of Leeds fans unhappy at the defender due to his behaviour off the pitch in pulling out of a matchday squad last season and blasting fans on social media, while on the pitch mistakes have continued to dog the Italian.
Just twigged - you can't get the link to work. Here's the relevant part of the article ..... Leeds United head coach Steve Evans has revealed to The Yorkshire Evening Post that he is trying to sign a striker in the January transfer window. Evans has also stated that he wants a striker who is capable enough to play on his own or in a front-two. “I’d like another option,” the Scot told The Yorkshire Evening Post. “I’d prefer that can play that role on his own but also play in a two if he needs to. “There’s a couple we’re trying to bring in and if we end up with two strikers in the door then great but if we end up with one of the two, I’ll be happy with that.” Chris Wood, Mirco Antenucci and Souleymane Doukara are the three main strikers at Leeds. Wood is injured at the moment and Doukara is largely seen as a player who comes off the substitutes’ bench. Evans appears to have decided on the type of striker he wants, and one suspects that he already has names in mind. Leeds are 13th in the Championship table at the moment with 32 points from 25 matches. The West Yorkshire outfit are nine points behind Ipswich Town, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot. SEE ALSO:
