JUST IN; Leeds United already living in regrets.

Leeds have seen many talented players burst through the ranks of late, some making the jump up to the first team while others have required to leave in order to get the playing time they need.

Max Dean was one of those, producing a solid goal return at Thorp Arch but jumping at the chance to move to MK Dons, then managed by former Leeds youth coach Mark Jackson.

After a stellar campaign in League Two last season where he netted 19 goals and registered five assists, Dean’s MK Dons form earned him significant transfer interest from a top flight club.

Football Insider shared that Toulouse had a transfer offer accepted to sign the 20-year-old striker for £1.7million, while Gent in Belgium were similarly keen at matching the bid.

However, Gent have since won the race to sign the youngster:

Leeds are sure to be taking a keen interest in his whereabouts this summer, though, as they reportedly hold a 50% sell-on clause in Dean’s contract, banking half of the above fee if a transfer is completed.

As much as Leeds could be about to bank £850,000 for someone leaving a League Two club, their sale of Dean is looking somewhat premature.
