    YEP have linked us with him today. Apparently Leeds are 'poised to step up their long-held interest'.

    I haven't seen too much of him, but he is highly rated, 20 games for England under 19s, and is interested in leaving after Town failed in the playoffs. He's only 21, which is what stands out for me, and maybe a lack of experience could lead to mistakes etc. but he has made 100 appearances for Huddersfield, with several Premier League teams apparently monitoring his progress.

    Also Burnley's Lee Grant is seen as another alternative and the club still hold interest in Westwood, although he is expected to join Sunderland. As for Paul Rachubka, according to sources in Blackpool, he's the keeper who an agreement is in place for but he'll be back up.
