Leeds United priorities emerge as Ryan Kent continues to impress Marcelo Bielsa - LeedsAllOver

Leeds United reportedly remain interested in Rangers’ Ryan Kent, but don’t see him as a priority currently.

Transfers are in full flow at Leeds currently with four already confirmed, two for the first-team and two for the under-23s.

There’s plenty of work still to be done in the market with Marcelo Bielsa needing a bit more strength in wide positions.

Ryan Kent is a name that has resurfaced in the Leeds United rumour mill every window since Bielsa took charge.

It stands to reason too, given Leeds’ need for a wide option that has a keen eye for goal and can play on a variety of positions.

The latest update comes from The Mirror’s David Anderson who has revealed that the club are still keeping an eye on Kent, but aren’t currently pursuing a deal.

Via Twitter, he wrote:

I think keeping a close eye on Kent is a wise way to approach things but there’s no point pursuing someone who might cost us a lot more than they’re worth.

Steven Gerrard won’t want to lose his star man and there’s no indication Kent does want to leave.

I’d be surprised if we did end up paying over the odds for anyone in this transfer window and especially someone we’ve been knocked back for previously.

What I’m definitely confident of is that we swill sign that winger that the squad needs going into 2021/22.
