Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in the headlines at Leeds United ahead of their clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
The striker is currently on a run of just one goal in his last five, which has coincided with a poor run of form for the Whites.
They are winless in those matches, with three draws and two losses and will be keen to change that against the Lilywhites.
Calvert-Lewin will hope to play a big part in that, but transfer speculation and injury issues may also be on his mind.
New updates have been shared on his contract and injury status before a crucial game for the Peacocks.

Supercomputer rates Leeds chances of Tottenham win
Leeds have been predicted to win the clash with Spurs by a new supercomputer verdict.
The Opta Analyst supercomputer gives the LS11 side a 41.7 per cent chance of winning the game.
The visitors have a 31.6 per cent likelihood of victory, while a draw is ranked as a 26.7 per cent option.
It would signal a five-year first if it becomes true as the Whites have not beat Saturday's opponents since May 2021.

Leeds may make a formal approach for Maccabi Tel Aviv's Issouf Sissokho shortly.
A report from TEAMTalk on Wednesday evening claims that the Whites have been tracking the midfielder for a year.
It states that Spanish side Levante have contacted Sissokho's representatives and are preparing a £4.2million bid.
It is understood that the Yorkshire outfit will need to launch their own offer quickly to get a deal sorted.
What is the latest on Dominic Calvert-Lewin injury?
Calvert-Lewin is expected to be fit for the Tottenham game, despite suffering a new injury blow.
Daniel Farke revealed that the forward did not train on Wednesday, due to a foot injury.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: "Calvert-Lewin had a little setback with his foot as well, wasn't able to train with us today, but with him I am carefully optimistic that he is back in training tomorrow."
That suggests that it is a minor issue and he should be available for the contest with Roberto De Zerbi's side.
What has been said about Calvert-Lewin's contract?
Calvert-Lewin's contract has come under the microscope amid interest from Manchester United.
The Whites are believed to have rebuked any interest in their star man from their rivals, and are keen to get him tied down.
Farke commented on the situation in his pre-conference, saying: "I'm not willing to speak about any rumours at the moment. Obviously, Dominic is a very important player; we want to keep our most important players."
The fact that the boss is talking about the forward like that suggests that they want to keep him around.
