Leeds United have been left frustrated in moves for Derby's Louie Sibley and Norwich's Todd Cantwell.
The Mirror says Leeds director of football Victor Orta has made an enquiry to Derby about Sibley, who is already established in Philip Cocu's Rams at 19.
Orta is also tracking England Under-21 international Cantwell as he searches for the attacking midfielder Marcelo Bielsa wants.
Norwich want at least £20million to part with Cantwell, even though boss Daniel Farke has dropped him because he is unhappy with his attitude, while Derby value Sibley at around £15million.
Both fees are beyond Leeds right now after splashing out £100million in their biggest-ever transfer window and Orta will continue to monitor both players.
