Leeds United posted a statement on their website confirming that they had received a number of enquires from both home and abroad in relation to their players.
Leeds United CEO Shaun Harvey said: “It would be na�ve to believe that we would not receive any enquiries about our players who, collectively, achieved a seventh place finish in the Championship last season.
“We will continue our policy of not commenting on specific speculation, but would re-iterate our position that any players leaving will only do so in those circumstances that we believe represents the best interests of the club and has the full support of Simon Grayson.
“Our recruitment plans continue quietly behind the scenes and we have no intention of making public our targets.”
