Leeds furious with Man City over compo delays for duo

Leeds United are furious with Manchester City over their capture of two youngsters.

The Yorkshire club are furious about losing another two youth players - 14-year-olds Louis Hutton and George Swann - from their Thorp Arch academy.

A Leeds insider told the Sunday Mirror: "We want to be compensated for two of our players being poached. We believed we had reached a deal with City, but they reneged on it.

"It was supposed to be going to a tribunal on Thursday, but it appears they are stalling. They've asked for it to be postponed due to illness."

Manchester City spokeswoman Vicky Kloss said: "We've applied for a postponement on the basis that two of our central figures are unable to make the tribunal appointment.

"The key figure has signed off sick for a month. To my understanding, there has been no reneging on the offer. Our original offer to Leeds was not deemed to be acceptable to them and so, as is the standard procedure in these matters, the case has gone to a tribunal."
