' Leeds chief reveals plans for West Ham, Fulham and Cardiff target '

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has vowed to keep striker Ross McCormack at Elland Road despite growing interest from a number of other clubs.
West Ham, Cardiff and Newcastle have all been linked with the Scotland international, while Fulham have already had an opening bid of £5million rejected.
McCormack was the Championship’s top scorer last season, bagging 28 goals in 46 appearances during a turbulent campaign for Leeds.
Cellino admits the situation may change if a Premier League club makes an offer, but he insists he has no plans to sell McCormack.
“Why should we sell McCormack? He loves it here,” Cellino said at the unveiling of new Leeds boss Dave Hockaday.
“If a Premier League team comes we have to give him the chance but I pledge to keep him here.
“He’s a beautiful player. Me and McCormack (will) keep our promise to the fans.
“When I make a promise I keep it. Why should I sell him?
“Why should we sell our best players? We have to help Leeds get into the Premier League, so we don’t waste our good players.
“(Keeping) McCormack is a matter of principle, not money.”
