Leeds United boss Steve Evans: 'Sam Byram offered new contract'

Leeds United boss Steve Evans reveals that the club have offered defender Sam Byram a new long-term deal at Elland Road.

Leeds United boss Steve Evans has confirmed that defender Sam Byram has been offered a new contract by the club.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Premier League teams over the past year due to the quality of his displays in the Championship.

Byram's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, but Evans has revealed that the Whites have taken steps to secure the full-back's future at Elland Road.

"I know that Sam was made a fresh offer earlier in the week to extend his contract," Evans told reporters. "It's a positive step for the club.

"I had a catch up with Sam and the honest truth is that he wanted to speak to his dad. I'll see where that goes.

"He's trained well and signing or not signing, he conducts himself properly. He's a lovely young man. It's certainly an improved offer [to the previously tabled offer]."

Byram has made 134 appearances for the club.
