Liverpool winger Ryan Kent is said to be the only target remaining on Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa’s wishlist.

According to Leeds Live, Ryan Kent’s camp insist that a move to Leeds United is still possible.

Liverpool have gone on record to state that they only want to sell the winger this summer, which could prove problematic for Leeds, who are only working on a limited budget.

However, it seems that there is a possibility that Leeds could push to sign the Liverpool man to strengthen Marcelo Bielsa’s side even further.

Leeds have already spent big on Helder Costa this summer, but Bielsa would seemingly like one more attacking addition before the season starts.

Leeds Live claim that Kent is the only big profile target Leeds now have, even though they do appear worryingly short at centre-back.

Bielsa is said to be happy with his options in defence, even after Pontus Jansson’s departure, with Kent the sole focus of Leeds transfer team now.

Kent appears to be willing to make a move to Elland Road, but whether the Whites will be able to agree a fee with Liverpool remains to be seen.

It was reported in the Daily Record earlier this summer that Liverpool would want £10 million for Kent if they were to sell, which may take him out of Leeds’ price-range.

If Kent was to sign for Leeds he would be exciting addition though.

If Leeds were lining up with Kent, Pablo Hernandez and Costa all behind the striker they would have one of the strongest offensive lines in the division, and their promotion chances would surely be strengthened.
