Darren Bent has urged Leeds United not to give up in their chase for Harry Wilson.
The Whites were strongly linked with a move for the Liverpool this starlet this summer but recent reports have claimed that their interest in the 23-year-old has cooled.
Whether that is down to Liverpool's asking price for a versatile midfielder they do not wish to sell, or simply Marcelo Bielsa preferring to look at other targets is unclear.
Yet Bent is a big fan of Wilson following his impressive loan spells at Derby County and Bournemouth.
Talking up the Wales international's potential, Bent said that a move to Elland Road could well be the perfect way to unlock Wilson's talent.
Bent told Football Insider: "I watched Harry Wilson a lot when he was at Derby and a bit when he was at Bournemouth and I do really like him.
“I still don’t feel he’s reached the level I expected him to be at, especially after his season at Derby, when he went on loan to the Premier League I expected him to kick on.
“He could be a fantastic signing but we go back to this whole being settled thing – rather than going on loan to Leeds, on loan to Bournemouth, on loan to Derby, at some stage you need to settle down.
"He’s getting to an age – he’s a Wales international – where he needs to be settled and playing.
“I think Leeds could be perfect, the perfect landing spot for him.”
