Leeds United are still interested in signing Rangers winger Ryan Kent in the summer transfer window, according to a fresh report.
The Lowdown: Bielsa could sign a wide player
Marcelo Bielsa may feel that another wide player is needed in the coming weeks and months in order to make the Whites’ squad even more formidable.
The likes of Raphinha and Jack Harrison could grow further if there is even more competition for places as Leeds look to push into the European places next season.

The Latest: Leeds linked with Kent move
According to The Athletic, the Whites still ‘retain an interest’ in acquiring Kent’s services following a Premiership-winning season with Rangers.
The 24-year-old has been linked with Leeds in the past, and a while a bid is yet to be made, it does appear as though Bielsa sees him as a potential addition at Elland Road.

The Verdict: A strong squad option
Admittedly, Kent is yet to prove himself in the Premier League, but his performances for Rangers have been hugely impressive, with 10 goals and nine assists coming his way last season.
He has been described as a ‘pleasure to watch’ by Gers manager Steven Gerrard, which is some compliment given the 41-year-old’s stature in the game and highlights the winger’s pedigree.
Kent might not necessarily be a regular starter if he goes to Leeds, but he would give Bielsa even more attacking options in the final third.
