Phil Hay:
Spoken to Steve Evans a few moments ago - confirmed that Tommaso Bianchi has been given permission to talk to Serie B side Ascoli.
Ascoli are looking at signing Bianchi on loan with a view to a permanent deal
Chris Wood is fine for tomorrow but Alex Mowatt will miss out again with a dead leg. Has had a scan and should be back for Bolton in FA Cup
Evans said the paperwork for Diagouraga deal was submitted to Football League at 9am this morning. Expects him to be in the squad tomorrow.
Evans doesn't expect any more signings before tomorrow's game but says Leeds are still "going in heavy" on certain targets. #lufc


Adam Pope:
Just spoke to Steve Evans who was on the team coach with Toumani Diagourga sat a few seats away from him. #lufc
Evans on Diagouraga: "He's a #lufc player. We're looking forward to his contribution not only tomorrow but for over many months & years.
Evans is adamant that both Liam Bridcutt and Toumani Diagouraga can play in the same side together. #lufc
Evans says #lufc beat Rangers & two Championship clubs to Diagouraga's signature on a 2.5 year deal with the club having an option beyond it
Evans says he expects to hear tonight the result of Bianchi's talks with Ascoli after he was released from training this morning. #lufc
Evans says there is hard work going on to bring in another striker although he refers to Doukara as "outstanding" at present. #lufc
Evans not aware of any further interest from Italy in Mirco Antenucci since the early part of this window. #lufc
Evans says no developments with regards the interest shown in Sol Bamba.: "As far as I'm concerned Sol Bamba is not going anywhere."
Evans wants to strengthen in central defence & on wings. He admitted having an initial chat to #efc about Aiden McGeady 10 days ago. #lufc
Evans says he's had no further chats with #efc boss Roberto Martinez about McGeady who apparently has other Premier League interest.
Alex Mowatt's deep bruising to his leg is likely to keep him out of Saturday's #facup tie at Bolton as well as Brentford tomorrow. #lufc
