West Ham United and Newcastle United are set to battle for the Leeds United skipper.

He handed in a transfer request, alerting a number of clubs to the availability of one of the brightest talents in the division.

The Scotland striker has attracted strong interest this summer, finishing last season as the Championship top scorer with 28 goals.

The 27-year-old has been left out of Leeds’ pre-season trip to Italy while there are doubts over his future at the club, following the appointment of new manager David Hockaday.

West Ham, Newcastle, Fulham, Cardiff City and Norwich City are said to be keeping tabs on McCormack, and are likely to take advantage of his situation at Elland Road.
