A report in the Evening Standard says Leeds have secured a £6m lifeline which will stave off the threat of administration until the end of January.
But the deal they agreed with creditors last night is only a short-term solution and the board still may be forced to raise cash from player sales.
Robinson, Smith and Viduka are the remaining crown jewels, with Robinson the favourite to become the latest high-profile departure, due to the financial collapse at Elland Road.
The sale of Smith would spark outrage from fans, while the complexities of their lend-lease purchase of Viduka from Celtic mean Leeds would make little or no money from any deal for the Aussie.
Spurs have revived their interest in Robinson and enquired about his availability last week. The 24-year-old was linked with a £3m move to White Hart Lane last summer, although Spurs denied making any formal offer.
