Leeds United make ‘demand’ over young star as Whites told ‘no thanks’ after transfer approach

Leeds United are now less than two weeks away from returning to competitive action as the World Cup semi-finals draw to a close.

The Whites face Manchester City in the Premier League on December 28, but before then, they will face Real Sociedad and AS Monaco in friendly fixtures, with Jesse Marsch hoping to build his men back up to match fitness. It has been a lengthy break for the Whites - and not for the first time this season - and Marsch has his work cut out to ensure they hit the ground running, especially given their first opponent following the break.
