Striker ready to snub other interest to join Neil Warnock's side
Wantaway Portsmouth striker Luke Varney has revealed he is prepared to snub interest from other Championship clubs in order to join Leeds this summer.
Leeds are among a number of clubs thought to have the 29-year-old on their radar, with promoted Sheffield Wednesday also reported to be interested.
But Varney has his sights set on a move to Elland Road where he is keen to work under manager Neil Warnock.
Perfect
He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "The other clubs that have been mentioned are still Championship clubs. But they are not clubs of the size of Leeds.
"Neil's got a great record in the Championship and it's something I want to be a part of.
"With coming to Leeds, I can also still get home to see my little child in Leicester and it would be perfect. I'm looking forward to a move to Leeds."
Portsmouth boss Michael Appleton confirmed last week that Varney is in talks with the Whites over a move.
Varney only joined Pompey from Derby last summer and has two years remaining on his deal at Fratton Park, but the cash-strapped club are keen to offload players as they prepare for life in League One following relegation.
