Angus Kinnear has hinted to the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United are after Premier League targets this summer.

Leeds have made slow progress in the transfer window so far, with Lewis Baker their only addition.

Baker has arrived from Chelsea, and Kinnear has suggested that more Premier League talent is on the Whites’ radar.

“We’d like to go out against Stoke with what we think is going to be the first choice XI but when you look at how the market’s operating and what people are demanding in the transfer market, loans are something we’ll use very actively,” Kinnear said.

“Premier League clubs have big squads and lots of talent in those squads and they’re looking to showcase that talent.”

The comments may just give credence to Leeds’ links with Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.

Leeds are said to be keen to bring in Wilson by the Scottish Sun, as they feel he could be an excellent addition to their squad.

And he would certainly fit the description of the sort of targets Kinnear has suggested Leeds are going after.

Wilson is a bright prospect, who started to find his feet at Championship level with Hull City, where he scored seven goals in 13 appearances.

The Welsh international may not break into Liverpool’s first-team next term, but at Leeds he would have the chance to showcase his talent, and the links could now be ones to keep an eye on.
