Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa appears to have been tracking Liverpool’s Ryan Kent for much of the summer so far.

Liverpool fans have had mixed reviews over reports that Ryan Kent could be heading to Leeds United.

Goal suggests that Leeds are set to make a £7 million bid for the Liverpool winger, which could rise to £10 million if they are promoted.

While some Reds fans are happy to take the price on offer from Leeds, others think that Marcelo Bielsa’s side are striking a bargain.

Kent impressed during his time in with Rangers last term, and has been on Leeds’ radar for much of the summer so far.

Bielsa’s men have moved for Kent following Kemar Roofe’s switch to Anderlecht, as they now appear to have the money to finance a transfer.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he has no interest in loaning out Kent this summer, so the permanent offer from Leeds could suit them.

If Kent does make a switch to Elland Road he could enhance the quality of their attacking options, with Bielsa’s side already possessing plenty of forward quality.

Leeds have the likes of Jack Harrison, Helder Costa, Jack Clarke and Pablo Hernandez already at the club, so Kent would have to fight for his place in Bielsa’s line-up.
