Report: Leeds United had a £4.5 million offer turned down for Ryan Kent and Marcelo Bielsa believed he could convert him into a No 10

According to The Athletic, Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa believed he could convert Rangers forward Ryan Kent into a No. 10 as the Elland Road outfit went after the signature of the 22-year-old during the summer transfer window.

The England youth international spent last season on loan with Steven Gerrard’s side at Ibrox, emerging as the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year after ending the campaign with six goals and nine assists in 43 games.

As a result, Rangers splashed £7 million on his permanent signature to bring him back on the European summer transfer deadline day, but Leeds were also firmly interested in his services, and the English Championship side had a £4.
