The Leeds United rumour mill is gearing up as January gets ever closer, and the first name to be linked is Ipswich Town midfielder Sammy Moore. The 20 year old has been impressing whilst out on loan to League Two side Brentford, fueling speculation that Leeds will make a move for him in January.
Meanwhile, David Prutton has been rewarded for his fine form so far this season with a new contract that will keep him at Elland Road until 2009, whilst out of favour Shaun Derry has been loaned out to Crystal Palace where he'll team up with former manager Iain Dowie.

Leeds 4-2 Millwall
A dominant display by Leeds United saw us make it 13 games unbeaten and move up into 6th place in the league, despite a late comeback from the Millwall club.
Prutton got Leeds ahead before halftime, before Beckford punished an error by the Millwall keeper and stand in captain Jonathan Douglas fired home twice in the space of just a few minutes. Game over, 4-0. It probably should have been easier, but Leeds got a little complacent and allowed Millwall to pull a couple of goals back, but there was to be no historic comeback, and Leeds would record there 11th victory thus far.
Assistant manager, Gus Poyet was not in attendance, after Leeds decided it was best he stay away as they feared the current media attention surrounding a move to Spurs as Ramos' number two, could take peoples minds off the game, so Leeds United captain, Alan Thompson assisted Dennis Wise on the bench. It seems that Gus will be leaving for Spurs, so Alan Thompson may take up the role permanently following his retirement.
The match was marred by the usual trail of destruction that follows the South London thugs, with coaches reported to have been smashed up before kickoff and the Millwall fans trying to get out of there enclosure during the match. However, thjs will not detract from what was certainly one of Leeds' best performances so far this season.
30,139 fans turned out to watch the match, making Elland Road the 4th most attended stadium in the country yesterday.
