Round-up: Leeds rebuff Rutter bid, Ipswich target Hull duo

LEEDS UNITED have rejected a £30m package from Brighton and Hove Albion to sign Georginio Rutter, with the player said to be settled at Elland Road.

Albion have also been long-term admirers of winger Crysencio Summerville, but that has not extended into tabling a bid.

Leeds, who sold Archie Gray to Spurs for £40m earlier this week to help meet PSR requirements, are not actively looking to sell either Summerville or Willy Gnonto this summer.

Meanwhile, Hull City star duo Jacob Greaves and Jaden Philogene are reportedly the subject of a combined £30m offer from Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town.

The Suffolk outfit have identified Greaves as a leading target since returning to the top flight, with the centre-half having also attracted interest from Everton and West Ham.

Philogene has been on the radar of Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna last summer before he moved to Hull from Aston Villa.

The winger also has interest from Spanish giants Barcelona, but in the form of an initial loan.
