Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford is attracting Portuguese interest.

The Mirror says Beckford is a shock target for Portuguese side Sporting Braga.

Beckford, 25, has stalled on signing a new deal and his current contract expires next summer which has alerted the Portuguese League's early pace-setters.

Bolton have also been interested but Beckford would be able to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club from January 1.
