Leeds United news as Jesse Marsch 'holds talks' with Leicester City

A look at the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Saturday, April 8.

Jesse Marsch 'holds talks' with Leicester City

The Athletic claims former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has held talks with relegation rivals Leicester City. The Foxes parted company with Brendan Rodgers last week following a dismal run of results this season, leaving them fighting for survival.

The report claims Rafa Benitez and Sam Allardyce are also possibilities for the role in the short term, but Marsch has apparently indicated he'd be interested in taking the job even if Leicester go down to the Championship.

The former Whites boss was linked with a move to Southampton following his Elland Road departure, but the length of contract was reportedly a sticking point.

Jack Harrison sends Crystal Palace 'true Elland Road' warning ahead of Leeds United clash

Jack Harrison has promised relegation rivals Crystal Palace that they'll see the 'true Elland Road' when Roy Hodgson's side travels up to Yorkshire to face Leeds United this weekend.

The Whites sit just a point behind the Eagles in the Premier League table following their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

Despite only being two points away from the relegation zone, a win against Palace would certainly cement Leeds' place in the league and their hopes of staying up by quite a lot.

Leeds United full injury list for Crystal Palace as Tyler Adams and Max Wober's absence set to continue

Leeds United welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road on Sunday looking to register back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since November.

The Whites climbed into 13th place and two points clear of the relegation zone courtesy of a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

Orel Mangala fired Forest into a 12th-minute lead, before goals from Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra completed a Leeds' comeback before the break.

Javi Gracia refused to give anything away in his press conference regarding injuries, although Wilfried Gnonto was fit enough to feature on the bench against Forest.

Leeds United 'leapfrog' Premier League rival for Coventry star Viktor Gyokeres

Leeds United now reportedly lead the race to sign Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres having 'leapfrogged' Premier League rivals Everton for the star's signature.

According to Football Insider, Fulham are another party interested in the Swedish international and are prepared to compete with Leeds for Gyokeres but the Toffees are 'falling behind' the pair of clubs.

The Championship frontman has 18 goals and eight assists in the league this season, along with another goal in the FA Cup bringing the 24-year-old's tally to 19 in all competitions.

Leeds United star Rodrigo tipped for Spain recall amid Elland Road 'resurrection'

Rodrigo Moreno has been the most reliable player for Leeds United this season but hasn't been picked in a Spain squad this season, despite the numerous international breaks.

In fact, he hasn't made an appearance for his country for over 18 months - even though in that time, he's netted 19 goals for the Whites across all competitions.

Looking at those ahead of him in the national pecking order, names like Alvaro Morata, Iago Aspas and Nico Williams have been staples over the past 12 months and were all part of their 2022 World Cup squad before being knocked out by Morocco on penalties in the Round of 16.
