5. Gerrard tipped to interest Leeds
Steven Gerrard has been backed to interest Leeds United if Marcelo Bielsa exits the club next summer. The Elland Road club have reportedly shown interest in the Rangers boss previously. Pundit Kevin Phillips said: “I am not surprised to hear that he is being linked with Leeds and it would not surprise me one bit if Bielsa was to move on at the end of the season. He might move onto another project. I think Leeds would tempt him if they are still in the Premier League.” (Football Insider) Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
