Here are the Leeds evening headlines for Thursday, October 15.
Barry Douglas a target for Blackburn
Tony Mowbray has confirmed Blackburn Rovers are looking at Scotland international Barry Douglas.
The Leeds defender has been on the fringes of the first-team for some time under Marcelo Bielsa, and with the transfer window set to close the Scottish defender must earn regular playing time.
Blackburn look set to offer him that opportunity after Mowbray confirmed his interest in signing Douglas.
“We’re always trying to do business but a phone call is a phone call, and then there’s another phone call later,” Mowbray told a press conference.
“I would hope that we could get a minimum of two, maybe three players in, if we can. We’re working hard behind the scenes to bolster the squad.”
“We’re looking for players who can come and compete in that position [left-back] and Barry Douglas is one name among a few that we’ve been talking to and looking at. We’ll see which one falls into place for us.”
