Leeds United have bid for Wigan midfielder Sean McGurk.

But their offer has been turned down by the cash-strapped club, says The Sun.

Midfielder McGurk is the next top talent off the assembly line that produced Joe Gelhardt and Tottenham record breaker Alfie Devine.

The Elland Rod club have been after him for months and submitted a bid that was rated too low by officials and the club administrators.

McGurk is out of contract in the summer and could go then with a fee decided by tribunal. However Rangers may come in for him and offer a pre contract.

Steven Gerrard knows McGurk from his time at Liverpool academy when the Rangers boss was in charge and the player was a young hopeful.
