Leeds United had the opportunity to secure Donny van de Beek from Manchester United on loan.
The Elland Road club signed Dan James from their rivals in the summer, but turned down the chance to sign van de Beek for the rest of this season.

Van de Beek instead signed for Everton, where he will be hoping to impress recently installed manager Frank Lampard.
