Leeds United's English forward Jermaine Beckford celebrates after scoring against Manchester United during their English FA Cup football match at Old Trafford in Manchester, north-west England, on January 3. Beckford as expected on Wednesday handed in a transfer request opening the way for a lucrative move possibly to Newcastle United.

The 26-year-old - whose contract expires at the end of the season - scored his 20th goal of the season for the League One leaders in their stunning 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

However, on Wednesday his agent told the BBC that Beckford had indeed handed in his transfer request.

Leeds manager Simon Grayson seemed resigned to losing the former windscreen wiper fitter, who cost 45,000 pounds when he signed from non-league side Wealdstone four years ago, but insisted that he would not let him go for a derisory fee.

Newcastle manager Chris Hughton has already spoken of his desire to sign Beckford but says he will be patient in his pursuit of the striker.
