Leeds United remain keen on Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson.
The People says Elland Road spy Gwyn Williams watched Johnson in action for City's reserves last week as the Yorkshire club assess his fitness.
Johnson was close to going to Leeds last season before picking up the latest of several injuries in his three-year injury nightmare spell. Now Simon Grayson's men are back on the case.
The home-grown prospect - once rated as the new Colin Bell - may be loaned out to get match practice.
