According to a statement from Leeds Live, Ryan Kent is the outstanding option should Leeds look to complete any remaining transfer business before the window shuts.
What’s the word?
Leeds have been rather quiet of late when it’s come to transfer activity.
They welcomed back Jack Harrison, however, they’ve only brought in players on loan for this season, seeing Ben White and Helder Costa arrive beside the deal that saw Jack Clarke return temporarily too.
Perhaps rather bizarrely, the club has hinted that not much further work is required after Victor Orta said they were 90% done in terms of what they’d set out to achieve this summer.
But despite that, there could yet be one more arrival according to Leeds Live.
In a Q&A on their website, they admitted that Liverpool winger Kent remains an option for them, declaring that there is room in the side for the right player at the right price.
They say that the Whites have been interested since before they sold Clarke.
Time to move on
Although this Leeds squad does need more bodies in its ranks, it certainly doesn’t need another winger.
Kent was in fine form for Rangers in the SPFL last term, netting six goals, but the Yorkshire club aren’t exactly short of options in his position.
Costa will bolster their choices significantly whilst Clarke is another year older and perhaps more ready to make a breakthrough.
They also have Harrison whilst Pablo Hernandez is one of the star players in the squad, contributing to 12 goals and 12 assists last term. Even Ezgjan Alioski could play in that role if Marcelo Bielsa found himself short.
Earlier this summer, Goal reported that Liverpool were looking for £12m for his services. The fact of the matter is that Leeds need to be targeting other areas with that kind of money.
You sense that Bielsa’s side are still short defensively and lack cover following Pontus Jansson’s departure. Meanwhile, they also head into the new campaign with one fit senior centre forward in Patrick Bamford after an injury to Kemar Roofe.
Thus, continuing to pursue Kent over targets would be foolish and if they brought him in over improvement in other areas, they’d be staring at a huge mistake.
