Leeds United striker Anthony Elding's contract talks with League One rivals Crewe Alexandra have broken down.

The two clubs had agreed a six-figure fee for the 26-year-old, who only moved to Elland Road in January from Stockport County.

But Elding has stated he wants to remain at Leeds to fight for his place.

Millwall, Darlington, Hartlepool and Leyton Orient are all reportedly interested in the player, who still has two years left on his current contract.
