Leeds have cooled their interest in Derby Country striker Matej Vydra after baulking at his excessive wage demands.

Newcastle are on the hunt for a striker this summer and are also interested in Albion’s Salomon Rondon, who has a £16.5m release clause.

Kodjia could be available for less, however, because cash-strapped Villa need to sell him to bring in funds.

Fellow Villa striker Ross McCormack is also up for sale, having not travelled to Portugal for pre-season.
