The Leeds keeper wants to leave and join their league rivals

With Leeds United set to undergo major changes this summer, one of their players is heading to join their rivals soon.

The Whites have failed to win promotion to the Premier League and a number of their players have been linked with an exit from Elland Road.

Crysencio Summerville, Wilfried Gnonto, Archie Gray and several others are attracting the attention of Premier League clubs.

However, Jamie Shackleton could soon be leaving the club to join their Championship rivals.

After their recent relegation back to the Championship, the Blades will be looking to assemble a squad that can earn them promotion back to the top flight of English football.

And it seems they are looking to their Yorkshire rivals and possible promotion opponents to do so.
