The Yorkshire giants would love to hold on to him for as long as possible given how he has turned things around since his arrival, but they have got a contingency plan in place should he opt to move on, with Gerrard also considered by Leeds management. The Sun claims that Lopetegui is a favourite of Leeds owner ...
