LEEDS FIGHT SPURS OVER BAMFORD

LEEDS hope Patrick Bamford will turn his back on interest from Tottenham and sign a new long-term contract.

Bamford (below) is being targeted by Tottenham and they want the former Chelsea striker to add another dimension to their attack.

Leeds have been in talks with Bamford over the summer and want to reward him for his fine campaign last season when he scored 17 Premier League goals on the club’s return to the top flight.

Bamford signed a four-year deal when he joined from Middlesbrough for £7million to become Marcelo Bielsa’s first marquee capture in 2018. Leeds extended his contract by a season last summer until 2023.

Bamford had intimated he was happy to remain at Leeds and he feels he has found a home in Yorkshire.
