LUFC Grayson plays down Beckford links

Leeds United boss has re iterated his stance over star striker Jermaine Beckford, saying he`s going nowhere in January.

The 25 year old whose contract is up at the end of the season continues to be linked with a number of clubs including Newcastle, West Brom and Bolton.

Beckford`s already turned down one new contract offer in the summer, that decision made the club put him on the transfer list.

The club soon removed him from the list and said that he would at least see out the remaining twelve month`s of his contract and run the risk of losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

Simon Grayson speaking in the YEP said 'I'll be bracing myself for telephone calls, but he won't be going anywhere. I've said from the summer months when he came off the transfer list, he's isn't going.
The chairman has given me his word he won't be sold in January".

Despite the unrest Beckford is continuing to score the goals and got his thirteenth of the season in Saturday`s win at Brighton.
