Since dropping into the Championship, Leeds United have found it tough to convince Premier League clubs to loan them their young talent.
The Whites did manage to prise Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell on loan from Tottenham and Bournemouth respectively, but they are both already well established players.
Leeds were able to sign those two because they had already been deemed surplus to requirements at their current clubs. It was a similar story for Joe Rodon, Djed Spence, Jaidon Anthony and Connor Roberts last season, too.
There are plenty of examples over the last 13 months of Leeds being interested in a Premier League youngster, but losing out to other Championship clubs.
Fabio Carvalho to Hull City in January was a major one, while Jesurun Rak-Sakyi to Sheffield United and even Owen Beck to Blackburn Rovers are more recent.
