Jesse Marsch and Leeds United to make Joe Gelhardt transfer decision amid loan speculation

Leeds United will make a decision regarding Joe Gelhardt's immediate future in the coming weeks after the Whites striker was linked with a loan move to the Championship. Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland are among a number of Championship clubs interested in a move for the 20-year-old.

Gelhardt has been on the fringes of the Leeds first team this season, making 15 appearances in the top flight, but is yet to score in the Premier League this term. The young forward has outgrown the Under-21s set-up, with the Whites youngsters second in Premier League 2 Division 2 after back-to-back defeats.

Jesse Marsch says he's held talks with the youngster and will make a decision on what's best for him in the long-run, in the coming weeks. Sunderland are looking to bolster their attacking options after Ellis Simms was recalled by Everton and Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is keen on bringing in a striker to strengthen his side's promotion push.
