According to a report by Football Insider, Leeds United could be edging closer to receiving a multi-million pound windfall as Tottenham Hotspur lay the groundwork for the sale of Danny Rose this summer.
What’s the word, then?
Well, Football Insider reported on Wednesday morning that the Spurs defender had been omitted from the pre-season tour of Asia – something which has now been confirmed – in order to try and secure a move away from the north London outfit.
Football Insider report that Tottenham will sell the England international in the next fortnight if a club matches his £25m price tag, and Leeds would benefit if that ends up occurring.

The story adds that as part of the deal that saw Rose leave the Yorkshire outfit for White Hart Lane in 2007, they are entitled to 10% of any sell-on fee.
Vital for Leeds
It may not seem like a huge amount of money in this day and age, but it could actually be crucial for the Whites.

Club director Paul Bell has already suggested from Australia this week that the reason behind the sale of Pontus Jansson to Brentford was down to Financial Fair Play regulations, which appear to have caused United some big issues this summer.
Balancing the books is hugely important, and if they can do it without having to sacrifice any more of their key players that would be hugely beneficial for their 2019/20 promotion push.
Receiving £2.5m as part of the potential Rose sale could easily make a difference and also help them out when it comes to trying to match Kalvin Phillips’ wage demands – he is said to have already rejected a contract offer from the Yorkshire club.
It may be a slightly unexpected boost, but it could be a very timely one and Leeds will be hoping that a deal happens sooner rather than later.
