Leeds interested in Everton duo
Leeds have expressed an interest in unsettled Everton defenders Gary Naysmith and David Weir, according to the players’ agent.
But Jim McArthur has played down the chances of either player joining the West Yorkshire club in the summer.
McArthur confirmed he had made an informal approach to Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell about Scotland internationals Naysmith, 26, and 34-year-old Weir, who are out of contract at the end of the season.
“All this has come from one informal telephone conversation I had with Kevin Blackwell,” McArthur said.
“Leeds would be interested but I don’t know how far it’s going to go and it depends on any offers they (the players) receive from Everton.
“Gary has rejected one offer and that has now been withdrawn, while David has had an offer he’s thinking about.
“Both players would be interested in Leeds. They are a big club, but other clubs have also been asking about them.”
