Here are your Leeds United evening headlines for Wednesday, December 7.
Ex-Leeds star suggests Cody Drameh should opt for Championship move
Former Leeds United star Carlton Palmer has suggested that Cody Drameh should join Middlesbrough or Norwich City on loan over a move to another Premier League club.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs after starting just twice for the Whites across all competitions this term.

Drameh has been subject to interest from clubs in the Premier League and in Europe, while Middlesbrough and Norwich are also in contention for the youngster.
Palmer says he expects Drameh to head out on loan in the winter and believes a move to the Championship would offer him the best opportunity to play more games.
"He’s a talented, talented full-back," Palmer told Football League World. “He went to Cardiff City on loan, he won the Young Player of the Year and senior Player of the Year. So that says a lot about how well he played in South Wales.
“Game time has been limited at Leeds United so the remit would be that wherever he goes on loan, and I think he will go along that Christmas, is that he has to play.
“I can’t imagine him going to a Premier League club and getting game time because he’s not getting game time at Leeds. So I’m assuming that it will be Middlesbrough or Norwich.”
Newcastle's Chris Wood transfer stance detailed amid Leeds United return rumours
Newcastle United have played down reports linking striker Chris Wood with a return to Leeds United, according to Chronicle Live. This comes after reports at the weekend suggested Leeds are weighing up a January bid for Wood as they look to add another body to their front line.
Football Insider claim that Leeds will look to ease the pressure on top-scorer Rodrigo by entering the loan market and making a temporary move for Wood. Patrick Bamford's injury struggles mean the addition of a forward could significantly bolster survival hopes.
Wood scored an impressive 44 goals across a two-year spell at the Whites before departing for the Premier League and Burnley in 2017. Having become a proven top-flight striker, he signed for Newcastle United in a £25 million January deal.
'We will continue' - Ex-Leeds United star Raphinha responds to Roy Keane Brazil dance criticism
Ex-Leeds United winger Raphinha has hit back at Roy Keane's criticism of Brazil's samba dancing celebrations in their 4-1 victory over South Korea.
Brazil cruised into the World Cup quarter-finals courtesy of first half goals Vinicius Jr, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta. Paik Seung-ho netted a late consolation for South Korea on an otherwise comfortable evening for Brazil.
Despite their impressive victory, Keane labelled Brazil's celebrations, especially when Tite danced with Richarlison after the second goal, as 'disrespectful'.
