Leeds United: Whites in move for Dickov
Former Scotland international Paul Dickov is training with Leeds United after cancelling his contract with Leicester City.
The 37-year-old linked up with United's squad yesterday and is due to train with the club for a second time later this week, an opportunity which could lead to a permanent transfer to Elland Road.

Dickov is a free agent after parting company with Leicester by mutual consent on February 1 and he would be eligible to join Leeds on a full-time basis outside the transfer window.

The ex-Scotland player – capped 10 times by the country – is a veteran of more than 400 senior appearances, and his playing career is best remembered for successful spells with Manchester City, Leicester and Blackburn Rovers.

He won two promotions at Maine Road and was part of the squad which helped Leicester into the Premier League in 2003. The striker also played under Grayson while on loan at Blackpool.

Leicester signed him for a second time from Manchester City in the summer of 2008 but he made only four league starts during 18 months at the Walkers Stadium and moved on loan to Derby County earlier this season.

Leicester agreed to cut short his contract at the start of this month and United could look to take advantage of his unattached status by offering him a short-term deal.
Grayson's squad is not lacking in attacking players but Tresor Kandol is on the sidelines with a hamstring strain and Jermaine Beckford left Hartlepool United on Saturday with a hamstring problem of his own.
Beckford is a doubt for tonight's Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Carlisle United.
