Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson has not ruled out another bid to capture Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford on loan.

Former Leeds forward Beckford, 29, who worked under Grayson at Elland Road, was the Town manager's number one choice to replace Jordan Rhodes and had agreed terms with Huddersfield on a season-long loan on Friday, only for Leicester to change their minds minutes before the transfer deadline and the move collapsed.

Grayson revealed Leicester are keen to keep hold of Beckford at present, but believes the situation might change.

"We've been told he's going nowhere at this moment in time, but that can change after the weekend, it could change tomorrow," said Grayson.

"That's how football is. When you have a deal done at five to 11 and it all gets changed nothing surprises me. That's just part and parcel of football, so we'll keep an eye on every situation."
