Leeds have been linked to Liverpool’s Yan Dhanda.
Dhanda, 18, is a bright talent who the Reds signed from West Brom four years ago, who is looking for his first loan spell.
But the England youth international and Leeds would not be a good fit, in terms of opportunity.
Dhanda can play as both an attacking midfielder and a winger, but he could end up sitting on the sidelines like he is at Liverpool.
At the weekend in Leeds’ opening win against Bolton, there were some notable omissions from the starting line up.
Playmaker Samu Saiz, a £3 million signing from Huesca, was an unused substitute, with Pablo Hernandez preferred.
Dhanda, with no competitive appearances in his career to date, would face a tall order to displace the duo.
On the wing Northern Ireland international Stuart Dallas did not even make the bench, making Dhanda’s chance of starting out wide just as difficult.
Leeds would be better of focusing on the development of a player they did sign this summer, who was released by Liverpool.
The Whites signed talented Spaniard Madger Gomes for their under-23 squad, and he made an early impression in pre-season by scoring for the first team.
He should be the focus rather than Dhanda, who Leeds should pass on and allow to move elsewhere to a club able to offer him a better shot of first team football.
