Harry Kewell's agent has denied that there is a rift between his player and Leeds United manager Peter Reid. The Australian is expected to announce whether he is staying at Elland Road shortly with Arsenal the favourites to sign him. However, Manchester United and Liverpool are also reported to still be in the running to sign the exciting striker. "It is wrong to suggest Harry doesn't want to speak to Peter Reid," said Kewell's agent Bernie Mandic. "Peter's words may have been taken out of context. Harry and I have never had a problem with Peter Reid or anyone else at Leeds United. "He has the greatest respect for Peter. I have also spoken to him recently and there was no suggestion of a problem. "Harry will make a decision by the end of the month and Leeds will be informed - which is what all parties have been saying all along. "In fact we have never ruled out extending Harry's contract at Leeds by two or three years. "All our discussions have been amicable and professional. Harry will make a decision over the next couple of days and Leeds will naturally be informed first about that decision. "Leeds chairman Professor John McKenzie gets back from Japan on Wednesday and he is the man who needs to be informed, along with Peter Reid obviously." cheers: .co.uk
