Leeds had a £4.5m bid rejected by Liverpool for 22-year-old attacker Ryan Kent this summer, the winger subsequently signing for Rangers.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa had planned to convert the wide forward into a number ten at Elland Road, and made the England youth international a number one transfer target throughout the summer, putting in a final bid on the English transfer deadline day on 8th August.
That bid was rejected though, leaving Rangers a clear pathway to splash £6.5m on the attacker – who had recently enjoyed a successful loan spell at a club he regards as his 'home'.
