Charlton Athletic are reportedly speaking to former Leeds United boss Steve Evans about their managerial vacancy.
With former Leeds United boss Steve Evans reportedly in talks to take over at Charlton Athletic (BBC Sport), we take a look at three players he could look to sign from the Elland Road club.
Luke Murphy
Murphy appears to have no future at Leeds while Garry Monk remains in charge of the Yorkshire club.
The former Crewe man has played just one match for Leeds so far this season, with most his game time coming while playing for the Whites’ development side.
When Evans was in charge at Elland Road Murphy was used far more frequently, and the Scottish boss could be tempted to bring the midfielder to the Valley in January.
Toumani Diagouraga
Diagouraga is another Leeds player who has rarely featured since Monk took charge at Elland Road.
The powerful midfielder was signed by Evans back in January, and he featured regularly for Leeds towards the end of last season.
However, he now looks set to leave the Championship side in the near future, and a move to Charlton could be a possibility.
Lewie Coyle
Evans raved about Coyle’s potential during his time at Leeds, and is known to be a fan of the defender.
Although any deal would likely be a loan, Leeds could be keen for Coyle to get some more game time and a move to Charlton could be perfect for his development.
Leeds have Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi able to play at right-back, meaning Coyle’s first-team chances would be far greater if he temporarily moved to a Charlton side, with Evans at the helm.
