Jermaine Beckford has decided to stay put at Leeds United after the cup win against Manchester united. Beckford was stunned by the response from the leeds fans after scoring the winner against Alex Ferguson and his sorry men as they fell to the leauge 1 toppers Leeds.
The official leeds website had this to say:
Leeds United are pleased to confirm that striker
Jermaine Beckford will be staying on at Elland Road for the remaining duration of his contract (to May 2010).
Conversations have been ongoing with the player and his representative since a transfer request was handed in on December 30.
The subsequent public knowledge of his transfer request has not been helpful in terms of stability, but having spoken with Jermaine all parties have decided it is in everyone's best interests that he stays until the end of the season and continues to help the club's bid for promotion.
This is despite several financial offers that have been made to the club.
Newcastle have made 3 bids in the region of £2m for the striker so we will now have to look elsewhere maybe roberts of Blackburn Rovers?
