Leeds United are determined to keep the bulk of their squad together over the January transfer window.

According to a report in the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United are open to selling Ross Turnbull, Toumani Diagouraga and Luke Murphy in January.

Garry Monk has ruled out departures from Leeds in the January transfer window – with the 37-year-old boss determined to keep hold of his key players.

However, Leeds are willing to offload Turnbull, Diagouraga and Murphy – as the trio appear to have no future at Elland Road.

Leeds United's Toumani Diagouraga comes on as a substitute

Turnbull, Diagouraga and Murphy have all been training with Leeds’ development squad so far this season, with Monk deeming them short of the quality required to play in his first-team.

As yet, Leeds have not received any offers for the trio – but they are willing to listen to bids.

Diagouraga and Murphy have both made just one appearance for Leeds this term, while Turnbull has not featured at all.

Monk does not want anybody else in his Leeds squad to leave in the coming weeks, though, as he is determined to keep his team together.

The Whites are challenging for promotion, and Monk wants to stability to ensure that his team’s challenge for a top six spot is not derailed.
