Rubin Kazan chief makes Leeds United 'target' Kvicha Kvaratskhelia transfer admission ahead of January

Rubin Kazan general director director Rustem Saimanov would not be able to refuse an offer of €20million for reported Leeds United target Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Speaking to Soccer RU, the Kazan chief admitted that he would be sold if they received the right bid for the winger.

Kvaratskhelia was linked with a move to Elland Road throughout the summer and reportedly held talks with Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Nonetheless, a move to Yorkshire would not transpire for the Georgian international, who also attracted the interest of Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace and Juventus - according to his agent.

But he could be in demand again in the winter window, and Saimanov says: “What if they offer 20 million (euros) for him? (Then) I can’t refuse."

The Whites are in desperate need of some attacking options after Patrick Bamford's injury.

Leeds United are the joint lowest scorers in the division alongside Newcastle and are just five points clear of the relegation zone.

It's no secret that the Whites need to bolster an already depleted squad in January, however Angus Kinnear said back in August that they would only bring in players who Bielsa thought would improve the squad.
