LEEDS GET TOUGH ON KEWELL

Last updated : 20 May 2003 By Editor
United target Harry Kewell has been told by Leeds that he
will not be able to walk away from the club for nothing. Lee
Bowyer left Elland Road for £100’000 as his contract neared
an end in January, and chairman Professor John McKenzie will
not tolerate Kewell doing the same.

In a hint that Kewell will be sold if he doesn’t sign a new
contract, McKenzie said:

"I have already spoken to Harry's agent a few times and we
are still very confident of putting a deal together. We hope
that Harry will stay. I will be looking to meet his agent
again next week when I believe we will be in a position to
put a new proposal to him.

"We all know what happened to Lee Bowyer and how he was able
to walk away for almost nothing and we cannot allow that to
happen again.''
