Pugh Deal Close

Leeds were still trying to finalise a deal last night to bring Stoke City midfielder Danny Pugh back to Elland Road.Pugh, 28, spent two seasons with Leeds after joining the club in 2004 from Manchester United.
He was sold to Preston North End for £275,000 and joined Stoke two years later for £500,000, where he is now surplus to requirements.Leeds manager Grayson is keen to sign Pugh ahead of tomorrow night’s game at Brighton knowing his arrival will strengthen competition at left-back, left-wing, and in the centre of midfield.He has been omitted from Stoke’s squad for both the Premier League and the Europa League this season.
