Leeds United are currently in third place in the Championship table.

Garry Monk has told the Daily Mirror that he sees Leeds United as a long-term project, and has no interest in leaving.

Monk only has six months left on his contract at Elland Road, leaving some uncertainty over his future.

But the 37-year-old insists that he will not be going anywhere, providing Leeds hand him a contract to sign.

“I see Leeds United as a long-term project for me, and I am delighted with the progress we are making this season,” the former Swansea City boss said.

“But things like contracts sort themselves out over a period of time, and I’m not thinking about it at the moment.

“All that stuff will take care of itself and, if it goes to the end of the season, that’s fine. It’s not my focus.”

Leeds fans are desperate for Monk to put pen to paper, as he has done a brilliant job since taking charge.

Leeds have been in wonderful form over recent months, and now sit in third place in the Championship table.

The Whites seem to be progressing as time goes on, and they have become a much stronger team as the season has developed.

Leeds now have one eye on taking an automatic promotion space, and they sit six points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in second.

Leeds are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Barnsley at Oakwell.
