Here are this evening's latest Leeds United headlines on Monday, June 12.
Ryan Kent seals Fenerbache move
It's not a Leeds United transfer window without a report or two on Ryan Kent, but it now looks like that once-evergreen rumours may have to be sunsetted. The 26-year-old winger, whose contract at Rangers expired this summer, has now joined Turkish side Fenerbahce on a free transfer.
Former Liverpool academy prospect Kent was often linked with the club during Marcelo Bielsa's time in charge at Elland Road and he will now link up with a former Leeds player with whom he could have chalked up a left-sided partnership with in West Yorkshire, had he made the move, as Gjanni Alioski is a key player for the Turkish side.

Jordan outlines EFL approval situation for 49ers in Leeds United takeover
Former Crystal Palace owner and talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan believes Leeds United will face very little resistance from the EFL given their current involvement in the club. Andrea Radrizzani has agreed a deal with 49ers Enterprises to sell his shares at Elland Road with the two parties putting the final touches on a deal.
The takeover would need to be approved by the EFL before being given the green light. Radrizzani has reportedly had to reduce his asking price by around £230million following the club's relegation to the Championship, but could well place promotion clauses into the deal.
Rodrigo aware of Real Madrid speculation but coy on Leeds United future
Leeds United forward Rodrigo Moreno refused to be drawn into speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid this summer. The Spanish striker scored 15 goals in 35 appearances for the Whites last season and was the standout performer in a dismal season.
The 32-year-old enjoyed his best return at Elland Road since joining from Valencia for a £27 million fee back in 2020. Rodrigo played as a central striker for the majority of the current campaign but has played as a number ten and out on the flank during his time at Leeds.
Los Blancos are reportedly eying Rodrigo as a replacement for Mariano Diaz this summer - with the Dominican forward set to leave on a free transfer this summer. The Leeds frontman has a reported release clause of £3.5million and a number of Premier League sides are keen on his services.
