Leeds United lead the race for Birmingham City teen George Hall.

The Sun says Leeds head the hunt for the midfielder, 18, and may try their luck in January when he could be available to buy.

Hall expected to get regular games this season and that was the main reason he stayed with Blues and signed a new deal.

But local lad Hall has struggled for starts recently and that has put his top-flight suitors on alert.

Birmingham have signed new players in midfield and that is holding back the England youth starlet who could now be sold to raise funds.

Hall made his senior Blues debut during a 2-1 Championship defeat to QPR in January.
