Ross McCormack submits shock transfer request

Leicester City, Fulham, QPR, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Norwich City, Cardiff City, Celtic and Newcastle United target Ross McCormack has asked for a transfer away from Championship outfit Leeds United, according to Sky Sports.

McCormack netted an impressive 28 goals for Leeds United last term, however after refusing to go on a pre-season trip with the rest of the squad the 27 year old has asked to leave Elland Road. Following impressive displays last term there are no shortage of suitors for the forward with Leicester City, Fulham, QPR, West ham United, Crystal Palace, Norwich City, Cardiff City, Celtic and Newcastle United all being linked with the Scot.

Fulham have made a £7 million bid for McCormack however it is understood that Leeds owner Massimo Cellino is demanding £10 million for their star man which could deter any potential suitors. Reports also suggest that Norwich City are readying a bid following the sale of Robert Snodgrass to Hull City for £7 milliom.

surprised any player wants to stay there. The players now have to bring in their own packed lunches and wash their own kits to cut club costs :laughing6:

If Cardiff hadn't got so many options for strikers then Ross would be an excellent signing for a reasonable price of course. No need for more strikers though, we need some more defence especially if Caulker goes, which is likely.

I just cant see how they come to a 10million valuation for a player thats never done it at the top level, whats to say he will be able to step up to Premier League standard.

For that kind of money we could get Jordan Rhodes and some change.

He's told people I know he's going to Fulham 100%.

I've seen the screen shots. Let's see if there's a twist. Fee being talked about is well over the top though in my opinion.
