A number of Middlesbrough fans have taken to Twitter to react to reports from TEAMtalk claiming that Leeds United are interested in signing Marcus Tavernier.
Tavernier has been a mainstay of the Boro side this term. And he will be setting his sights on keeping his place under new boss Chris Wilder.
It seems that he will have something else to fight for with the January transfer window looming.
TEAMtalk reports that Leeds have joined a host of their Premier League rivals in the running to sign the 22-year-old. Southampton, Brighton and Burnley are also admirers of the versatile midfielder.

And actually, it would appear that a number of Boro fans would not mind if he ended up moving to Leeds.
Admittedly, some have insisted that he should not be sold. He is still a youngster with a lot of room to improve. He is also capable of playing in a variety of positions.
Meanwhile, it has been suggested that Marcelo Bielsa would help him take his game to the next level.
