Andrews Says No to Leeds
Keith Andrews’s agent Will Salthouse has confirmed that his player will not be joining Leeds United with another club, believed to be Town, the 30-year-old Blackburn midfielder’s preferred loan destination.
Salthouse told this morning’s Yorkshire Post: "Keith won't be coming to Leeds. Leeds are still interested [in the future], but he just feels there's an opportunity somewhere else and at this moment in time, it's the best opportunity for him.
"There may be a change in the future, but at the moment, he won't be coming. I had a long chat with Simon [Grayson] and [technical director] Gwyn Williams. It was a close decision, but he won't be joining.
"There have been seven or eight of the top Championship clubs interested in him and the decision has been made on the fact that he's found the club where he's comfortable and feels he can develop again."
Nottingham Forest and Portsmouth are also understood to be amongst those who have made enquiries regarding the Republic of Ireland international.
