PostHeaderIcon Wolves plan swoop for Beckford

According to news reports, Wolverhampton Wanderers are weighing up a bid for Leeds United’s prolific striker Jermaine Beckford in January. The 25 year’s old contract at Elland Road expires at the end of the 2009-10 season, and Mick McCarthy believes that the Whites would be ready to cash in if a bid comes in.

Beckford joined Leeds United from non league Wealdstone in January 2006 and has gone on to become one of the club’s most valuable players. He has netted 67 times in 118 outings for the League One outfit, and has also attracted attention from the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United.

Beckford was placed on the transfer market in the summer of 2009 after failing to agree to a contract extension, but Leeds took him off it in August. Manager Simon Grayson’s original plan was to get promotion to the Championship and then discuss a new contract with the 25 year old. But it appears that Grayson’s resolve may be tested when Wolves come knocking in the winter market. Sam Vokes may also be used as bait in order to make Leeds agree to Beckford’s transfer.

Wolves are currently second from bottom in the Premier League and have only scored twelve times in fourteen games this season.
