QPR duo Luke Freeman and Eberechi Eze linked

According to talkSPORT, Leeds have been monitoring QPR’s attacking midfield duo of Eberechi Eze and Luke Freeman.

Eze, 20, has starred for QPR and England’s under-20 team this season and is unsurprisingly attracting attention from elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Freeman – who is turning 27 this month – scored the winner for QPR in their recent clash with Leeds.

Caleb Ekuban gets Ghana call-up

Leeds loanee Caleb Ekuban has received his first ever call-up to the Ghana national team, the country’s official website confirmed.

The 24-year-old striker is currently on loan at Trabzonspor in Turkey, where he has scored seven times in 27 outings.

Ekuban struggled at Leeds last season, scoring just the one goal in seven appearances, which was on his debut against Port Vale in the EFL Cup.

Patrick Bamford’s injury boost

Leeds have been handed a fitness boost as it appears that striker Patrick Bamford is fit to face Reading tomorrow.

In his pre-match press conference, Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa confirmed (via the club’s official Twitter page) that he would field an unchanged side.

Bamford hobbled off after scoring the winner against Bristol City but he is available for tomorrow evening’s clash with Reading.
