Leeds United reportedly turned down the chance to sign Premier League midfielders Donny van de Beek and Harry Winks on loan in January.
That is according to the Athletic, who claim that after talks with Marcelo Bielsa, the Whites opted against pursuing a deal for either of them.
Leeds were keen on adding a midfielder to their ranks last month but once negotiations with their number one target Brenden Aaronson hit an impasse, it became clear there was no one else in the pipeline.
