Now that they have suffered just their second loss of the year, Leeds United is ready for a matchup with Queens Park Rangers in the middle of the week.

After receiving interest from Leeds and Fulham in the summer, it was anticipated that the young Danish international will attract new interest from England in January. However, Celtic has taken steps to make him unattainable. They achieved this by giving the midfielder a sizable new contract, which, according to The Sun, aligns him with the club’s highest earnings.
