Batty in action
Yorath wanted to bring the former England international midfielder to Hillsborough but its believed Batty turned down the chance to make the short move to Sheffield.

The Owls boss said: "He was a target, and we did talk, but David is Leeds through- -and-through, and I think he wants to end his career there.

Yorath has also shown an interest in another Leeds midfielder, Stephen McPhail, but he has found himself back in Terry Venables team plans in recent Leeds games.

"McPhail is the sort of player that I think Terry Venables will enjoy working with," said Yorath.
