Leeds United want to take Aiden McGeady on loan from Everton.

But the Championship club admit they face a fight to land the Blues winger who is keen to remain in the Premier League.

Everton are happy to let McGeady leave on loan for the rest of the season with the 29-year-old needing to boost his Euro 2016 hopes by playing regularly.

The Republic of Ireland international has made just one appearance this season and fears being left out of his country’s squad for the summer’s tournament in France.

Leeds want to take McGeady but boss Steve Evans says the winger appears to have his heart set on staying in the top flight.

“Speaking to Aiden’s representatives, he may have options in the Premier League,” Evans said.

“I do like Aiden McGeady but there has been no further chat with him in the last 10 days.

“But if he were to consider a Championship club then Leeds must be at the front of that thought process - we’re the biggest, most outstanding club in the league.

“That doesn’t mean we’re top of the league but we’re the big club that players look at.”
