PSV have admitted that Leeds United attempted to sign attacker Cody Gakpo.

According to club director John De Jong, the Elland Road team made a bid to secure the attacker, who can play on the left wing and centrally.

Gakpo was also linked to Manchester United all summer, but no move materialized.

"Leeds TD (technical director Victor Orta) flew in and talked to Cody," he said, as quoted by Voetbal.

"We received and listened to Leeds, but in the end, no concrete offer was put on the table where we thought we should sell it now.

"I think everyone knows that a club has to make an outgoing transfer every year.

"That's in the budget.

"So did we, but in the end, there was not such a good offer on the table that we really considered letting him go."
