Leeds United striker David Healy has been linked with a move to Premiership club Watford when the January transfer window opens.

Healy has been in terrific form for Northern Ireland but his Championship displays have been lacklustre and he looks set to be on his way.

Dennis Wise is still trying to strengthen his Leeds squad but has suffered two setbacks.

His inquiry about Blackburn defender Andy Todd was rebuffed because Rovers don't want to let him go out on loan. And former Leeds star Alan Smith has decided to stay and fight for his place at Manchester United rather than go out on loan.

Leeds reserves take on Birmingham City at York's KitKat Crescent tonight.
