James McArthur's agent has confirmed newly-promoted Leeds have so far not bid for the Hamilton ace, who is also attracting Wigan and West Brom.[LNB] The Whites have been linked with a move for the highly-rated 22-year-old midfielder who has 12 months remaining on his Accies contract.[LNB]The talented midfielder is being tipped to leave Hamilton this summer as the club looks to avoid the possibility of losing him for nothing at the end of next season.[LNB]McArthur's agent Willie McKay has confirmed his client is close friends with Leeds' Robert Snodgrass, but does not think the Championship side have not been in contact with Hamilton.[LNB]Premier League duo West Brom and Wigan have also been linked with the midfielder along with Rangers and McKay knows the talent would have no qualms adapting to England's top flight.[LNB]"I've not had any contact myself and I don't think Hamilton have had either," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post regarding talk of a bid from Leeds.[LNB]"I know Ken (Bates) because I lived in Monaco and he was obviously there, but there's nothing really there. The only thing I'd say is that he's a good pal of Robert Snodgrass and he'll be at the same level as Snodgrass and is a very good player.[LNB]"He could play in the Premier League all day long. There's plenty of interest in him, although no-one has actually made a formal bid.[LNB]"He's a box-to-box central midfield player and can play anywhere in the midfield and he can hold his own in most sides and he can also score a goal or two.[LNB]"Rangers want him and West Brom have been up quite a lot of times and Wigan have met him and he's got a good future."
