Carlos Corberan has responded to a question about reported Leeds United interest in the vacant Whites managerial post and explained the reasons for the timing of his new deal at West Brom.

Leeds are on the hunt for a new head coach having sacked Jesse Marsch following last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest and ex-Whites under-23s boss and United assistant Corberan was strongly linked to the position. Corberan, though, signed a new four-year deal with the Baggies on Tuesday and the 39-year-old has swiftly batted away a question about Leeds and also explained the timing of signing a new deal.

Asked by Sky Sports if being linked with a huge club like Leeds showed the work that he and his team were doing at West Brom and what that meant to him, Corberan declared: "For me, the thing that means the most is to win football games and to make my club feel proud.

"Last year for example when I received the manager of the month, I was pleased, not because I was the manager of the month but because I think this is a consequence when the team is winning football games so always when this speculation arrives because you are winning games it is positive because you are winning games and this is my only focus and my only target."
