The official Leeds United account issued a cheeky response of their own to Crowe, thanking him for “great scouting work” but assuring Bayern that the prolific Pole was not a target, while insisting that “we have Chris Wood”.

The New Zealand international Wood has scored 11 goals in 19 Leeds matches this season, including an impressive eight in 16 Championship appearances propelling the club to sixth in the league.

Wood’s form seems to be on the Bundesliga’s radar, with their official Twitter account also suggesting that they may recommended the New Zealand striker to Bayern, in a humorous social media exchange.

Crowe is a lifelong Leeds fan since the 1970s, and last year was even linked with a move to buy the club.He currently owns the Australian rugby league side South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Wood is set to be next in action for Leeds in the sell-out game with Newcastle United at Elland Road on November 20.

It remains to be seen whether any Bundesliga representatives will be in the crowd. If they can get a ticket that is!
