Georginio Rutter Leeds United Move Increasingly Likely
Who is Georginio Rutter?
Leeds United’s search for a centre-forward may be finished with the intended signing of Georginio Rutter.

Although he isn’t necessarily a prolific finisher, the youngster has more than enough potential to develop at Elland Road. Rumoured fees place the attacker at around £27 million, competing with Rodrigo for the club’s transfer record.
