Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino and the club would like to respond to recent media speculation regarding Ross McCormack.

We would like to reiterate our desire to keep Ross McCormack at Leeds United. This desire includes keeping all of our best players as we look to build a stronger and successful squad for the 2014/15 Championship season.

Leeds United may not be the richest club in the Championship, but we do not need to sell our best players in order to run the club successfully.
