Leeds move into Jerome pole

Leeds are understood to have moved into pole position to sign Stoke striker Cameron Jerome on loan.

Jerome was close to joining Blackburn last week, but a deal was not finalised. He has attracted interest from a host of other Championship clubs, including Leeds, Bolton and Wolves. But it now appears that Neil Warnock is in pole position to seal a deal to take him on loan from the Britannia Stadium. It is believed all the clubs interested wanted him signed in time for this weekend, but it remains to be seen if that will be possible.
