Hide AdSpeaking to Pilatus Today, FC Luzern sporting director Remo Meyer is confident Leeds-linked midfielder Ardon Jashari will be staying put this winter. Celtic and Middlesbrough have also been credited with an interest in him this month. Meyer has said: “I currently don’t think it’s realistic that there will be a transfer with Ardon this winter. On the one hand, we have our clear ideas about the transfer fee. On the other hand, (a sale) must also suit the player.”
Open to winger exit
The Whites would apparently be open to letting winger Ian Poveda leave permanently. He is currently on loan in the Championship at Blackpool after spending time with Blackburn Rovers last term. As detailed in a report by the Blackpool Gazette, Jesse Marsch’s side would be ‘happy’ to let him move on as long as they are ‘adequately’ compensated.
