According to Goal, Leeds United are making progress over an initial £7m deal for Liverpool winger Ryan Kent, but spending that amount on the 22-year-old would be ultimately puzzling.
What’s the word, then?
Goal reports that the wide man has been a long-term target for Whites manager Marcelo Bielsa, who is keen to strengthen his side’s attack ahead of another gruelling Championship campaign.
Goal say that talks are going well over a £7m deal, which could rise to £10m with add-ons.

Meanwhile, The Daily Record report that discussions were underway between the two clubs before the ink had even dried on Kemar Roofe’s move to Anderlecht, with Bielsa confident that a deal would be done before the 5pm deadline on Thursday.
Puzzling
While it is obviously great that Leeds are willing to spend £7m on a new signing given all of their additions this summer have been loans – albeit Helder Costa’s will turn into a £15m permament deal next summer – it is a little confusing.

Roofe’s departure has left the Yorkshire outfit with one senior striker in Patrick Bamford, with youngsters Ryan Edmondson and Kun Temenuzkhov as back up.
Meanwhile, Pontus Jansson left for Brentford and has so far been replaced by Ben White, who made his Championship debut at the weekend.
Leeds are clearly lacking depth and quality in those two positions, which makes it strange that they are willing to spend big on a player in a position where they have plenty of depth.
Costa, Jack Harrison, Ezgjan Alioski, Jack Clarke, Stuart Dallas and Pablo Hernandez can all play on the flanks, so surely it would make more sense to use the £7m in an area that needs more work.
Bielsa is an experienced manager who knows what he wants, but in this instance he may leave some scratching their heads if Kent proves to be Leeds’ final permanent signing of the summer window.
