Leeds make approach for Boro's Rudy Gestede in wake of Chris Wood sale
Monday 21 August 2017 17:03, UK
Leeds are targeting Middlesbrough striker Rudy Gestede as a replacement for departed striker Chris Wood.
Sky Sports News understands an approach has been made for the Benin international, who has started just 10 Boro games since a £6m move from Aston Villa in January.
Leeds sold Wood to Burnley for £15m on Monday after failing to persuade last season's top scorer to sign an improved contract.
The Championship club have already brought in 11 players during the summer transfer window, including Samuel Saiz, who followed up a Carabao Cup hat-trick with his first league goal at Sunderland on Saturday.
