Leeds United headlines as Martin Terrier makes 'flattering' claim and inside Archie Gray talks

Here are your Leeds United morning headlines for Friday, July 22.

Rennes forward Martin Terrier has admitted links to clubs like Leeds and West Ham United are ‘flattering’ but insists he feels good at his current club amid intensifying interest. The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from France after scoring 21 goals in 37 Ligue 1 appearances.

Leeds have previous with Rennes, taking Raphinha from under their noses for just £17million - a move which has seemingly hardened the negotiating stance in Brittany, with the French outfit unlikely to accept anything lower than €40million.

And their stance has been strengthened by Terrier’s response to the rumours, with the French forward admitting he feels good at his current club.

“Of course, I feel good here,” he told Foot Mercato when asked if he intends to stay at Rennes. “When you have a good season, it is flattering to have certain clubs that are interested in you, but I am good here.”

Jesse Marsch has spoken about discussions he had with Archie Gray’s dad - former Sunderland, Burnley and Leeds forward Andy - over the summer as he failed to contain his excitement regarding the 16-year-old’s future.

Gray has impressed massively during pre-season and looks to have put himself in contention for first-team football. He was stretchered off to much concern during Sunday’s friendly with Aston Villa but the injury is not as bad as first thought.

"I can’t help, but get excited when I talk about him because you can see it’s not just his talent, it’s his personality and he shows that when he plays.” Marsch said. “He’s ready for some big challenges so let’s see how it goes.”
