The 23-year-old, who joined Leeds aged nine, is out of contract this summer.

However, as he is under 24, any club he signs for would have to pay Leeds a fee related to his development.

Pulis said: "A tribunal could put an extraordinary amount of money on it and you're stuck with it. It's a risk that, at this moment, is not worth taking."

He says the asparagus shoots up so quickly - sometimes eight inches a day - you can almost see it growing.

Karl lets family fruit pickers ride on the train too, but as you'll see here, it looks like he quite enjoys being a big kid himself:
