Leeds United will not allow Joe Gelhardt to join a Championship club on loan this month after turning down a number of offers, it is claimed.
However, he has been in fine form for the under-23s. That has led to anticipation about his development at senior level.
According to
Football Insider, various Championship clubs have made offers to Leeds to take Gelhardt on loan for the rest of the season.
Leeds, though, have rejected these offers, as Marcelo Bielsa is happy for Gelhardt to continue his development in the reserves.

Crawley Town delivered one of the FA Cup third round s most emphatic upsets as the League Two underdogs tore apart Marcelo Bielsa s Leeds.
Three second-half goals rewarded a fantastic performance from John Yems side as they made light of the 62 places between themselves and their Premier League visitors.
Nick Tsaroulla, playing only his seventh game in senior football, set the ball rolling, beating three Leeds defenders to fire home a superb solo opener.
United keeper Kiko Casilla s error allowed Ashley Nadesan to double the lead before Jordan Tunnicliffe added a third for Crawley, who could have won by more.
