Leeds United are one of several clubs linked with signing Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban – but they may struggle to convince him to sign.
The Sun (31/08 edition, p52), report the Whites are keen on the forward, who is yet to find the net this season for the Cherries. Reading and Bristol City are also interested.
Leeds’ chances of luring Grabban to Elland Road is not straightforward, given their previous unsuccessful attempts to do so.
While he was at Norwich City last season, Grabban was linked with the Whites, a target for former boss Steve Evans.

Yet the Yorkshire Evening Post reported in November that the striker did not fancy a move up north, effectively ruling the club out of the running.
He ended up signing with south coast club Bournemouth and working under former boss Eddie Howe, but he has struggled for goals.
Leeds will have to hope he has had a change of heart on his previous stance they are to secure a move for the striker, permanently or on loan.
The 28-year-old striker has shown previously he can be a difference maker in the Championship, netting 22 goals for Bournemouth in 2013/14, and 12 times for Norwich the following campaign.
