In the firing line: The 11 Leeds players fighting to save their jobs after Heck revelation
Matthew Pennington
Like Lasogga, Pennington is on a season-long loan. Much was expected of the young Everton defender, but he has been a disappointment. Not only has his fitness been iffy, but his lack of stature and confidence on the ball has meant even Cooper has been selected ahead of him when fit and not serving a suspension. Christiansen always spoke warmly of Pennington, but Heckingbottom has not indicated his desire to convert the loan into a permanent transfer.
In other Leeds United news, it can be revealed that the club have launched a bid to sign a Premier League centre-forward in the form of his life.
