According to FLW sources, former Crewe Alexandra midfielder Luke Murphy and ex-Royals striker Noel Hunt are set to be shipped out on loan.

Both players have found playing time hard to come by this season at Elland Road, and a loan move away could be beneficial for their careers.

Leeds United head-coach NeiL Redfearn admits there will most likely be players leaving the club on loan, saying to the Yorkshire Post:"I have had a conversation with a couple of them and they have done things right and asked in the right way and kept up their standard in training, so it is not a problem.

“At some point, we have got to address it.

“There’s been a lot of enquiries. I had a chat with Massimo (Cellino) before the international break and he knows what I think.

“We know where we need to go and it’s a case of looking what comes in and maybe some of these lads going out at some point.

Leeds United currently lie in 15th position in the Sky Bet Championship table , having amassed 20 points from 17 league games.

“We are well aware there’s 10 or so days before the window shuts in November and if any go out, I think it will be sooner rather than later, I would have thought, Redfearn added.

“It is a big squad to work here with and we are mindful of diluting the message through the week.

“Because if you are working with a big group, sometimes that can happen.

“Some of these boys really need to go and play some games. We have arranged a couple of behind-closed-doors games which they have played in, so they have minutes under their belts.

“But actually playing on a Saturday afternoon when there’s three points at stake and a crowd, that is the sort of experience they need at this point.

“We are mindful of it and are trying to get ourselves in a position where maybe one or two do go out.”
