The Leeds United boss’ name continues to be linked with the vacant Norwich City post.

Leeds United manager Garry Monk has opened up on whether or not he has received offers from other clubs.

Monk’s Elland Road future has yet to be decided beyond the end of this season, when his rolling one-year contract is due to expire.

The 38-year-old led Leeds to the brink of the play-offs against all expectation, only for the Whites to fall at the final hurdle, having occupied a top-six place for the best part of five months.

Unsurprisingly, the club’s new owner Andrea Radrizzani has been inundated with messages urging him to tie down the former Swansea manager, who confirmed via the Yorkshire Evening Post that talks are set to take place after Sunday’s season finale at Wigan.

The Sun on Sunday reported last weekend that Monk was on the verge of being sacked by Radrizzani, with the Italian said to be considering an overseas appointment.

If Leeds do decide to part with Monk the former centre-back should have no shortage of options, with Derby, Nottingham Forest and Rangers all credited with an interest before their recent appointments.

Norwich City are another club strongly linked with Monk, after sacking Alex Neil in March, and the Mirror reported on Wednesday that the former remains a target for the Norfolk side.

However, when asked if he had received any approaches, Monk told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “No, not at all.”

Although, how long that stays the case remains to be seen.
