Leeds United sign Webber as Bolton defender appears on radar
Neil Warnock has made his first signing as Leeds United manager, bringing Danny Webber into Elland Road on a deal until the end of the season.
The 30-year-old former Sheffield United striker has been a free agent since his deal at Portsmouth expired last summer.
He is due to play in Leeds’s behind-closed-doors friendly with Middlesbrough today.
Webber who has a one in five goal-to-game ratio trained under Warnock at his old club QPR earlier this season.
Warnock said: “I know the player well and he’ll be good to have around the place.”
Bolton Wanderers defender Paul Robinson has also emerged as a potential target.
New United boss Warnock has wasted no time in identifying targets to bolster the club’s promotion bid with defence his major area of concern.
Left-back Robinson, 33, has played in the Premier League for much of his career but has fallen out of favour at the Reebok Stadium and could become available on a loan deal.
Warnock is also keen to bring Matt Mills to Elland Road.
The former Doncaster Rovers central defender cost Leicester City £5m from Reading last summer but has fallen down the pecking order since Nigel Pearson succeeded Sven Goran Eriksson at the Foxes.
