Beckford wants to stay

Jermaine Beckford's agent claims the striker needs to know if his long-term future is with Leeds, amid reports of interest from Coventry.
Beckford scored an impressive 27 league goals for the Whites this term, but disappointingly failed to find the back of the net in their play-off semi-final games with Millwall.

The former Scunthorpe United loanee has one year left on his contract, although his agent Nick Rubery says the 25-year-old needs to know if a new deal - something he will be happy to discuss - is in the offing.

Beckford, who has reportedly been interesting the Sky Blues, is keen to test himself at a higher level, but is not necessarily looking to hand in a transfer request at Elland Road.

"I'll be speaking to Leeds this week to discuss his position," he said
"He's got a year left on his contract and he needs to know where he stands.

"I don't know what Leeds are thinking with regards to their future plans and what part he might play in them, but it's something I need to clarify.

"Jermaine's scored a lot of goals in League One and he obviously wants to test himself at a higher level, but he's very open to the idea of signing a new contract with Leeds.

"He's not looking to move on, but his situation needs sorting out."

He doesn't like big games but he sure can knock the goals in for fun and that is a fact.

Leeds should do all they can to keep hold of him, he is vital to our promotion hopes.

Surely if he wants to stay,we can afford to keep him at least another season.

Agent talk, all we need, I reckon they're just looking for a new club. Put pressure on Leeds and then come out and say they didn't get a reasonable offer and Beckford wants out.
