Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is said to be keen on snapping up Ryan Kent and Helder Costa this summer.

If Leeds United could line up with Ryan Kent and Helder Costa in their attack next season, Marcelo Bielsa’s side could have their most dangerous front-line since their Premier League days.

Leeds missed out on promotion last term largely due to their inability to convert their chances.

Bielsa’s priority already seems to be to increase his side’s attacking potency this summer, and Costa and Kent have already been linked.

The Yorkshire Evening Post claims that Leeds want Costa, while the Daily Record has suggested that the Whites want to snap up Kent.

And if Leeds could bring the pair in then Bielsa’s forward options would be extremely dangerous.

With Kent, Costa and Pablo Hernandez all playing behind a striker at Leeds, Bielsa’s creative options would be superb.

Hernandez is one of the standout players in the Championship, and the prospect of him working in tandem with Costa and Kent is a tantalising one for supporters at Elland Road.

Costa has already ripped apart the Championship during his Wolves days.

Kent, meanwhile, was brilliant at Rangers last term, and looks to be a hugely exciting prospect.

If Leeds could put together a team which includes the duo on either flank, opposition defenders would be given nightmares.

And if Bielsa does manage to pull off the double deal he reportedly wants, then Leeds would have an attack clearly capable of winning them the Championship title.
