Becchio ‘desperate to return to Leeds’

Horacio Rossi, the Argentinian’s representative, said Leeds was “Luciano’s home” and invited the Elland Road club to move for him, saying: “If they want to sign him they know where we are.”

Becchio has emerged as a January target for Leeds head coach Neil Redfearn, who is understood to have recommended the forward during transfer discussions with club owner Massimo Cellino.

The 31-year-old has resumed full training following the heel injury which forced him to cut short a loan at Rotherham United earlier in the season, and Norwich are likely to listen to offers for him this month.

Becchio spent five-and-a-half seasons at Leeds before leaving for Carrow Road in January 2013. His time at Norwich, however, has failed to yield a concerted run in the first team.

Rossi told Press Association Sport: “Leeds is Luciano’s home and if they want to sign him they know where we are.

“Leeds is always going to be a special club for Luciano. It’s a club that he loves.”

Rossi said Becchio was fully fit following a three-month lay-off and claimed other Championship clubs were also interested in signing the player.

Rotherham are likely to look at Becchio again having been forced to cut short his half-season loan in October.
