Here are tonight's Leeds United evening headlines on Friday, January 27.
Juventus prepared to 'trim' Leeds United target Weston McKennie from squad
Juventus are reportedly 'quite happy' to get rid of Leeds United January target Weston McKennie to 'trim' down their squad's wage bill according to The Athletic's Phil Hay.
The 24-year-old has been the subject of much interest from Whites boss and fellow American Jesse Marsch, with the move reuniting him with World Cup teammates Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson.
It's been reported this week that Leeds want McKennie 'as soon as possible' according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, with the Premier League club having already agreed personal terms with the star.
Talking on the Phil Hay Show, Hay admitted that it looked as though the deal will go through before the end of the window, with the Serie A side ready to save themselves further wages amid recent financial difficulties.
"The feeling out of Italy and the message that seems to be coming from Turin and the ownership there is that they would quite happily take a fee for Weston McKennie at this point, they would quite happily trim him from the wage bill."
'David can beat Goliath' says Accrington boss ahead of Leeds United FA Cup clash
Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman sees no reason why 'David' can't beat 'Goliath' this weekend as Leeds United head to the Wham Stadium. The League One side know they're the underdogs heading into the FA Cup Fourth Round.
Boss Coleman told the PA news agency: “People aren’t expecting a lot of us. We’re playing against a team two leagues above us, in the Premier League, who dismantled Cardiff.
“So we know what they can do to a team – we also know Cardiff managed to score four goals against them, so that should give us a little bit of heart, and the fact we know Crawley knocked them out a couple of years ago can also give you heart."
'You don't choose him, he chooses you' - Leeds United supporters joy at Marcelo Bielsa's Everton snub
Leeds United supporters have taken to Twitter to share their relief at the reports which claim Marcelo Bielsa is set to reject the opportunity to manage Everton.
According to the Daily Mail, Bielsa jetted into London to hold discussions with the Everton hierarchy. Although those talks were positive, Bielsa is expected to inform the Toffees' board that he does not want the job at this time, and would prefer to take over in the summer.
Everton sacked Frank Lampard on Monday after a run of nine defeats in 12 games has left them in 19th place in the Premier League. Sean Dyche, who was also on the board's list of candidates, is now in pole position to succeed Lampard.
However, a deal is yet to be struck, as the former Burnley manager wants a longer-term contract. Here is how Leeds fans have been reacting to the reports on social media...
