Leeds United tipped to reignite January target interest as fresh Archie Gray transfer update emerges

We've reached the business end of the season and Leeds United still have plenty to do. The Whites are third and one point off the top two pace in the Championship, but with their nearest rivals Leicester City having a game in hand, Leeds cannot afford to slip up over their final three fixtures.

Leeds have won just one of their last five and Daniel Farke will be determined to help the club turn that around and avoid the lottery of the play-offs. A win over Middlesbrough on Monday night is absolutely paramount then.

Before the build-up to that one gets underway, the Yorkshire Evening Post has rounded up some of the biggest headlines out there.

Archie Gray latest

There has been no contact between Bayern Munich and Archie Gray's representatives. That's according to German Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, who reports Bayern are monitoring the youngster's progress but he is far from being considered a summer priority at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern are just one of the clubs who have been linked with the Leeds man as his breakthrough season at Elland Road comes to a close, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United all said to be keen, too.

However, the midfielder only penned a new deal in January and Leeds will be doing all they can to keep hold of their brightest young talent.

Leeds to reignite January interest?

Leeds United could make another move to sign West Ham United defender Ben Johnson this summer, according to HITC. Johnson is coming to the end of his current deal at the London Stadium and having turned down offers to stay at the club, he looks set to become a free agent at the end of the Premier League campaign.

He is starting to attract interest as a result with Aston Villa, Everton, Wolves, Tottenham and Leeds being credited with potential interest, alongside unnamed clubs in Italy, France and Germany. Of course, Leeds did sign Connor Roberts on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window, but the report insists he has an uncertain future and that could make Johnson an option, should they win promotion to the Premier League.
