Here are the Leeds United morning headlines for Saturday, August 29.
Leeds face battle for Rico Henry
Leeds United are one of three Premier League clubs hopeful of signing Brentford full-back Rico Henry this summer.
According to a report in The Sun, via the Daily Star, Leeds, Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion have all expressed an interest in signing the defender.
The 23-year-old was one of the star performers in the Championship last season and the top-flight clubs now believe he can fill a void at left-back.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side already have Stuart Dallas, Gjanni Alioski and Barry Douglas who can cover in the position but Henry could be a challenger for a regular first-team spot at Elland Road.
Rodrigo signs
Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Rodrigo Moreno from Valencia.
The Spain international, who was closely linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona as recently as January, has joined the Whites for a fee believed to be in the region of £30m.
The 29-year-old, who netted seven goals in 34 outings for Valencia last season, as well as racking up 11 assists, has put pen to paper on a four-year deal which will see him stay at Elland Road until 2024.
Mills warns Leeds on Kent move
Former Leeds defender Danny Mills has questioned whether the club should pursue a move for Ryan Kent after landing Valencia striker Rodrigo Moreno.
The newly-promoted club have already concluded a deal to sign Spain international Rodrigo and are said to be interested in a move for Rangers winger Kent.
However, Mills believes the club will be wary of not spending too much money on new acquisitions in the one window.
"You are talking about another wide player that possibly can score goals," Mills told Sky Sports. "It would still be a little bit of a gamble, he's not proven in the Premier League as yet.
"Also how much money have Leeds got to spend, how much do they want to spend?
"Do they want Rodrigo and then do they want Ryan Kent and then do they want somebody else and do they need a centre-half.
"Suddenly you are getting upwards north of £60-70 million. I'm not sure Leeds want to go that far."
Anfield opener on TV
The first game back for Leeds in the Premier League for 16 years will be televised on Sky Sports.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will take on champions Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, September 12, with the game now being moved to a 5.30pm kick-off to accommodate the broadcast.
Leeds have also seen their Yorkshire derby clash against Sheffield United in late-September moved from the 26 to 27 with a midday kick-off for TV, with more alterations expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
