David Stockdale’s future at Birmingham City is no closer to being resolved amid Leeds United links.

Brum boss Garry Monk said this week he did not want to let Stockdale leave on loan, as per Leeds’ offer, the Birmingham Mail reported.

Stockdale was not required to attend training last week but that changed this week when he was told to come in and train with the under-23s.

The Leeds’ linked goalkeeper is clearly unimpressed with the situation, but is taking it in his stride, joking about it on Twitter.

He went on to deny this was a dig at his situation.

Stockdale won promotion with Brighton and Hove Albion in 2016/17 before joining Birmingham.

A mixed season last year has seen Garry Monk decide to move on.

Stockdale has made no secret of his desire to play for hometown club Leeds, but the Whites have yet to meet his employers’ asking price and may look elsewhere, with Jamal Blackman another option.

He insists if there is no resolution between Birmingham and Leeds then he will not kick up a fuss and will see out his contract.
