Leeds decision on McCormack ‘within a fortnight’

McCormack, 25, the club’s leading scorer this season with 19 goals, has one year remaining on his current contract and has been made a new offer.

Midfielder Adam Clayton also had 12 months to run, but has been transfer-listed after turning down his new deal.

When quizzed about the Scot, Warnock said: “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. I think we’ve offered good, increased contracts to a number of players and it’s down to them.

“We’ve already made a statement that [Robert] Snodgrass is the best contract that the club has made for many years.

“They’re not all financially at that kind of level, but we’ve offered Ross what we feel is a good wage, whether it’s acceptable to Ross I think we’ll know in the next couple of weeks.”
