Leeds United position on supposed Rabbi Matondo transfer made clear following Rangers open to sale report
Leeds United are not seeking to bring Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo to Elland Road at this time, despite reports north of the border suggesting the Whites were eyeing up the Wales international.
The YEP understands Daniel Farke's side are not in the process of making a move for 23-year-old former Manchester City youngster Matondo.
It had been claimed by footballscotland.co.uk that the winger was being tracked by Leeds with a view to pursuing his signing, but that appears not to be the case.
Matondo has experience in Europe having joined German club FC Schalke 04 in a reported €9 million transfer whilst still a teenager, before spending time on loan at Stoke City and Belgian club Cercle Brugge.
The player landed at Ibrox two summers ago and has scored six goals in 62 appearances for the Gers but is not understood to be atop Leeds' transfer shortlist with a fortnight of the summer window remaining.
United spent time scouting potential wingers prior to Crysencio Summerville's £25 million exit earlier this month and are expected to recruit in the wide areas before the deadline in two Fridays' time. The Elland Road hierarchy was reminded by Farke of the need to bolster that position during his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon; the German suggesting he would still like full-back cover, a central midfielder, a Summerville replacement and reinforcements to make up for the loss of Georginio Rutter to Brighton and Hove Albion, which is expected to be announced in due course.
Leeds currently have a strong Welsh international contingent at Elland Road with club captain Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Daniel James and Charlie Crew making up around a fifth of Farke's existing first-team squad. Matondo, though, it appears will not be joining them.
