Leeds United have denied having any interest in signing Rabbi Matondo.
Some of the usual media messengers put the story out overnight but the reporter closest to the Yorkshire club has shot the story down.
A year ago Leeds signed Glen Kamara from the 2012 Tribute Act but they seem to have drawn the line at ‘Welsh speedster’ Matondo.
Two years ago Giovanni van Bronckhorst swooped to sign Matondo from Schalke 04 with the Record and others drooling over claims that their new star was faster than Usain Bolt.
Unfortunately he also plays football like the legendary Jamaican sprinter.
? Understand Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo is not a target for #LUFC at this time. 23 y/o has spent two years at Ibrox but is not thought to be in Leeds’ crosshairs. Club still expected to bring in a winger, but unlikely to be the Wales international.https://t.co/PuOyTXyOHJ

Halfway through a four year contract it is highly unlikely that any club will go near matching Matondo’s Ibrox deal which is reported to be around £30,000 a week.
With two weeks left in the transfer window it looks like the Welshman will join Ianis Hagi and Todd Cantwell going out on loan towards the end of the window with the bulk of their wages being paid from Phil Clement’s warchest.
Leeds were constantly linked with £12m swoops for Ryan Kent but never once made a bid, not even when the former Liverpool star was available as a free agent.

Another squirrel story there must some more serious shite coming down the pipe again.
DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT.
Matondo always reminds me of the roadrunner trying to beat Bugs Bunny …he always ran into a wall ,or he ran off a cliff at speed or got blown up by dynamite ..beep..beep !
Reports suggest that perhaps (fill in Sevco player name) is maybe a possible target for (fill in club name) for mega bucks (undesclosed),
A Sevco spokesman told the ex-Rangers retirement home ,the BBC, that no player is going to be sold unless they receive an offer.
The club is bracing itself for no bids as, as they said, we don’t even want them so why would anyone else.

Thought Mikey Johnston was a name that was getting linked with Leeds as a possible destination for Mikey?
Such a potential deal if it happened?
Would go down well with the bog slurpers, especially as Mikey is still a far better player than the 1 strike wonder in the moral victory last grasp draw?
Still remains uncertain as to what Rodgers intentions are for Mikey this season at present?
But wouldn’t be surprised whatsoever if Leeds are just monitoring the situation regarding Mikey at present either imo?
Anything that comes out of Poundland should be automatically be filed under BOLLOCKS.
So sevco can’t guarantee away tickets for the game at ibrox with Celtic so just how long is that dump going to be closed for.
There is more to this shite than just a couple of hundred seats being delayed in being fitted.
I reckon the safety licence has been declined and the klub are fucked,but just don’t want to say anything by dragging it out as long as possible.
And to think poor old Dundee got an absolutely skelpping from the SFA for a game being postponed for some water on the pitch,with sevco picking up £40,000 in compensation from Dundee.
The sevco klub have no idea when their stadium will be ready for SPFL football and no fines or punishment is carried out.
Oh and another sponsorship deal up in the air again because are linked in with another gambling company,and they say its the SFA that run the Scottish game and doing harm and showing bad against sevco,you couldn’t make it up.
£45 million plus of debt over ibrox and nobody is calling it out,the new klub constantly being linked with a number of players coming to their klub,just where is this money coming from.
More players only adds to the £45 million of debt.
Having watched Bolt in Soccer Aid he’s no as good as him lol! Runs wae his heed doon with ZILCHO ZERO NADDA ABILITY!!
Faster than a speeding bullet but unable to trap a bag of cement, he’s the Welsh Oli Burke!
