Leeds chase former Pool star
LEEDS United manager Simon Grayson has been making moves to be reunited with Derby County striker Liam Dickinson.
Grayson brought Dickinson to Bloomfield Road when he was Blackpool boss, and he is keen to have him playing under him again over the Pennines at the League One club.
Leeds had agreed terms with Dickinson and Derby to take the 23-year-old striker on loan until the end of the season, but were dismayed to learn the Football League refused to take into account the severe weather conditions when paperwork arrived 14 minutes late.
The window for loan signings reopened this week and Grayson said: "I thought Liam would be a good addition to us.
"I worked with him at Blackpool and he scored many goals in the last few years and got his move to Derby.
"Talks are ongoing and I would like to think that if he had a choice of clubs, then Leeds would be top of his priority list,'' Grayson added.
Dickinson scored four goals in five matches during his spell at Bloomfield Road.
