Thompson open to Leeds stay

Alan Thompson's agent has hinted the experienced midfielder could yet stay with Leeds United into the new season.

The former Celtic and Aston Villa schemer had been expected to depart The Whites following relegation to League One.

Thompson's agent Tony McGill previously stated his client wanted to play at as high a level as possible, however, he is now open to staying due to his happiness at Elland Road.

"The thing that matters most to Alan is enjoying his football," McGill told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"He was very happy at Leeds, and there's a chance he could go back there. It's early days but I've had a meeting with them and we'll see where it takes us.

"Obviously they can't pay him what he was on because they're a League One club, and if this was about money then Alan wouldn't be going to Leeds.

"But he's thought about that, and it's more important that he finds a club where he's happy."
