In demand Ivorian winger Max Gradel has stated that he is happy to stay put at Leeds despite rumours linking him to several Premier League and European clubs. According to media reports, at least nine European clubs, including the likes of Swansea, QPR and Lille are interested in the 23 year old, who was in excellent form for Leeds last season as they narrowly missed out on a Championship playoff spot. However Gradel has chosen to silence the rumours by stating that he wanted to “keep playing at this club for a long time to come.”
Gradel is a versatile player who can operate both as a winger and a striker, and Robert Snodgrass and he are viewed as the most valuable players likely to leave Elland Road this summer. However Whites boss Simon Grayson has said that both players will be staying put as Leeds hope to return to the Premier League next season.
