Leeds United defender Luke Ayling returned to action today in the 2-0 win over QPR, and immediately following the game was back involved with the media and making attention catching comments. 

Speaking to Lee Sobot of the Yorkshire Evening Post, the right back admitted that he will indeed be in the ear of former loanee defender Kyle Bartley this summer as he tries to persuade him to sign for the club once again.

The comments from Ayling will no doubt further endear him to the club's supporters, who have been big fans of the defender all season long thanks to his excellent and consistent performances at full back, as well as his willingness to interact on social media following games.

Leeds are hoping to sign up former defender Bartley on a permanent deal this summer after the Swansea man failed to make an impression on the Premier League club since returning at the end of the last campaign.

Bartley formed a formidable partnership with Pontuss Jansson two seasons back and Leeds fans will be hopeful of a similar pairing being a permanent fixture in the starting eleven next season.

Leeds fans, what do you make of Ayling's comments? Agree? Let us know!
