McCormack to Leeds

Good Luck Ross

Even before the arrival of Craig Bellamy it was looking likely that Cardiff striker Ross McCormack days with Cardiff City were looking numbered. But if there is a deal in the offing and your agent is Willie McKay you can guarantee everyone will get to know about the news.

The latest team to be link with Cardiff’s Scottish hit man is Leeds United who has been give permission to speak to Leeds according to McKay with another two unnamed clubs in the queue.

For a short time it looked like McCormack would be off to Ipswich but the deal involved a swap with Ipswich strike Jon Stead, however Stead had a number of other clubs interested and the deal talk cooled. Hull City was next but the news soon went cold as Hull looked elsewhere.

"We have been given permission to speak to Leeds as well as two other clubs about Ross. "We'll be holding talks with these clubs later this week.”

Skysports.com has confirmed they have agreed an undisclosed fee with Cardiff for McCormack who is surplus to requirements with Cardiff boss Dave Jones. I would expect a number of fans would be upset with the news but McCormack has made it known he wants first team football.

McCormack is to undertake a medical and has to agree terms with Leeds United.
