The summer speculation is starting in earnest with the news that new boys Fulham are prepared to offer Leeds £8m for Irish international left back Ian Harte.

Mohamed Fayed has already said that he wants to win the Premiership in the first season after promotion and has handed manager Jean Tigana blank cheque book to achieve that end. Speculation will continue all summer and has already mentioned Jan Koller and Teddy Sheringham but Harte is the latest on the list.

Earlier this season Harte lost his place in the team after a run off bad form but has returned to the first team and started scoring goals on a regular basis again, while David O'Leary says that the story is just speculation a bid of over £8m may tempt David O'Leary to cash in.

This versatile defender is the nephew of Leeds right-back Gary Kelly. Despite his tender age, he is almost a veteran in O'Leary's young side having already become a regular fixture in the Republic of Ireland national side. A powerful left boot makes him extremely dangerous in dead ball situations. He is also potent in the air in the opposition's penalty box and regularly gets on the score sheet.
