Last updated : 29 November 2015 By Steve Forbes

Leeds United have become the latest club to be linked with Hibs striker Jason Cummings.

The Yorkshire club are managed by Scot Steve Evans, who has already been linked with Cummings while Rotherham manager.

It now appears Evans is keen to take him to Elland Road, when the January transfer window opens.

As well as Rotherham and Leeds, Middlesbrough, Fulham, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Brighton and Burnley have all been credited with an interest in the 20-year-old

Cummings has already hit 14 goals this season, on top of 21 last term, and also scored his first goal for Scotland U21's a few months back.

The player has 18 months left on his contract, which leaves Hibs in a strong position when the transfer window opens.

Hibs are in a good financial position, and don't need to sell, and with the club going for promotion back to the Premiership, it would take a silly money offer for the club to sell.
