Your Leeds United transfer rumours for Monday, February 13.
Marsch wanted by Saints
The Daily Mail are suggesting Southampton could appoint Jesse Marsch as their next manager. Just days after his Leeds dismissal, the American is linked with a sensational return to the Premier League.
The Saints pulled the trigger on Nathan Jones after just 14 games in charge due to the precarious league position. Just one Premier League win against Everton in January forced the St Mary’s hierarchy to wield the axe as they bid to stay in the division.

It could be straight out of the fire and into the frying pan for Marsch, switching from one relegation-threatened club to another. Southampton may take solace from the 49-year-old’s efforts to keep Leeds up last season.
Prem clubs chase Scott
Leeds are one of several Premier League clubs chasing Bristol City youngster Alex Scott. A fee of around £12million was mooted last month but was not met by potential suitors.
Robins defender Kal Naismith did, however, reveal there were offers on the table for the 19-year-old last month. Scott, an England under-20 international, broke through the City ranks last season and has been an ever-present since.
Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also reportedly chasing the midfielder.
