The Leeds United-linked winger Gyrano Kerk started and scored for FC Utrecht on Sunday.
Leeds are close to agreeing a £10 million deal for Kerk and hope to unveil him as a Whites player this week, according to The Sunday Mirror (September 27, page 74).
But his transfer, it seems, is not quite complete after he was allowed to feature for his current employers, against an RKC Walwijk side which contained the former Leeds midfielder Vurnon Anita.
Kerk struck in the 74th minute of Utrecht’s 3-1 win, putting John van den Brom’s side back in front in what could be his final appearance for them.
The Dutchman scored or assisted 17 goals in 24 Eredivisie games for Utrecht last season, helping them to sixth in the standings.
Leeds have already added the Feyenoord winger Crysencio Summerville to their Under-23 squad this summer and have been linked with a move for another Netherlands-based player in the midfielder Teun Koopmeiners by The Telegraph.
Leeds fans – would Kerk be a good addition to your side?
