Leeds United are unlikely to sign Rangers duo Alfredo Morelos and Wes Foderingham this month, according to RockSport Radio host Bill Young.
The sports broadcaster claimed via his personal Twitter account on Tuesday that the Championship leaders have no interest in 22-year-old hotshot Morelos, and very little interest in goalkeeper Foderingham.
My sources in Leeds saying they are pretty sure Leeds have no interest in Morelos and very little in Foderingham. No reason to doubt him.

The Express reported in November that Leeds were considering a move for Foderingham, 27, in the January transfer window.
OPINION
Leeds need to sign themselves a goalkeeper this month and Foderingham would have been a decent addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s squad. It’s likely that Rangers would cash in on the shot-stopper as he is currently second-choice behind Allan McGregor and he definitely has the ability to play for one of the better teams in the Championship. Bailey Peacock-Farrell is Bielsa’s only senior goalkeeper at the moment and Will Huffer, who has very limited experience is his second-choice. Morelos would be a ridiculously good signing for Leeds, but there is no chance of that happening even if the Whites were interested. The Colombia international reportedly earns £30,000-a-week at Ibrox (Football Insider) and why on earth would Steven Gerrard be interested in letting his top scorer leave in January? Morelos has scored 20 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions this season. If he was ever going to head to England it would surely be to join a Premier League side.
