Kid Kebbie can crack it at Barca
Posted Tuesday, June 14, 2011 by The Sun
LEEDS UNITED youngster Elliot Kebbie is a target for Barcelona.
The winger, 16, joined the European champions on trial earlier this month and played for their famous youth team on Sunday.
He has been at Leeds since the age of eight but has moved to Spain and is hoping to join Pep Guardiola's side.
The Whites still expect to receive a hefty fee if he secures a switch to the Catalan giants.
Kebbie caught the eye as a sprinter in his early teens and was on trial with Manchester United in 2009.
However, he decided to snub approaches from across the Pennines to stay at Elland Road.
In November last year, he agreed terms on a scholarship with Leeds, which was due to start this summer.
But his move to the Nou Camp means he will not be at the club's Thorp Arch academy next season.
Leeds produced current England stars James Milner and Aaron Lennon and recently sold Fabian Delph to Aston Villa for £6million.
