Leeds United’s move for Demarai Gray has hit complications, the Telegraph have reported.

The Telegraph suggested last week that Leeds were pushing to sign Gray, with the Leicester City player potentially interested in a move to Elland Road.

However, any transfer for the £20 million England youth international (Daily Mail) has proven too difficult to complete.

The latest update suggests that Leeds have hit obstacles in trying to sign Gray, and they have now turned their attentions to Raphina.

The Brazilian winger is expected to join Leeds later today from Rennes, in what looks like an extremely exciting signing.

Leeds have now ended their interest in Gray, and that may be somewhat of a disappointment though.

Gray could have made a hugely appealing addition to Leeds’ squad, due to his combination of pace and trickery, but the transfer simply proved too difficult for Marcelo Bielsa’s side to pull off this time around.
