RANGERS REJECT KENT BID

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has confirmed the club have rejected an offer from Leeds United for winger Ryan Kent.

Gerrard says Leeds’ opening bid - an fee undisclosed - is “nowhere near” Rangers’ valuation of the player, and that the club do not want to sell Kent.

However, he has also admitted this morning that “EPL clubs hold a lot of power” and that the situation might be taken out of his hands.

LEEDS TARGET RODRIGO'S ONLY PL GOAL

Leeds United have asked about Valencia striker Rodrigo, according to the Daily Mail.

The 29-year old Spain international is available as Valencia are still looking to raise funds and is valued around £30m.

Rodrigo scored his first and only Premier League goal for Bolton against Wigan back in 2011.

Leeds United will have to pay around £30m to sign Bournemouth star Josh King.

Accord to the Express, Leeds may be interested in the former Manchester United forward, but they are not alone.

West Ham United and Everton are also said to be eyeing a move.

Bournemouth will have to sell key players this summer, and they have already started to do so with Nathan Ake departing to Manchester City.

But they are not willing to offer anyone at cut-price, and that includes King, the Cherries demanding a huge sum for the Norwegian.

the difference is with Fulham everyone accepted what they were doing even their deluded fans... with Leeds their fans seem to think Bielsa has worked miracles with 11 blokes he met down the pub....

Leeds are a much bigger club than Fulham but will need 4/5 Premier League players to stay in the League, the same as WBA and Fulham but I reckon they have the best chance of survival?
Warnock’s signings were not quite good enough!
