Leeds United are said to be interested in snapping up Manuel Cabit, with Tyler Denton in-demand.

Leeds United are said to be interested in Manuel Cabit by the Daily Mirror, and that may just offer credence to the rumours that Tyler Denton could depart.

The Yorkshire Evening Post have suggested that Denton could move out on loan to Brescia.

And if Leeds are bringing in another left-back in the form of Cabit then sending the youngster out on loan would make sense.

Denton is 22, and reaching an age where he needs to be playing regularly.

The full-back made 15 appearances while out on loan at Port Vale last term, but there were suggestions that he could come back to Elland Road and make an impression under Marcelo Bielsa.

Leeds are lacking at left-back, with the still rather unproven Tom Pearce looking most likely to be Bielsa’s first choice, as things stand.

However, the addition of Cabit would help to strengthen Leeds’ defence.

And that may be the signing which enables Leeds to allow Denton to leave, without fearing the consequences.
