RB Leipzig chief Rangnick admits U-turn for Huddersfield, Crystal Palace target Burke

RB Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick says they're rethinking selling Oliver Burke.

The Scotland winger's form at the Emirates Cup in London has earned him a reprieve, admits Rangnick.

"I spoke to Oliver again in London and told him we do not want to give him up. He has shown against Benfica how much is in him. When he puts speed into his play, he can have an effect," said Rangnick.

Loan offers were arriving from England, but he added: "That makes no sense. He'd go somewhere where he is not trained as we play."

Earlier this summer, the former Nottingham Forest attacker had been linked with Huddersfield and Crystal Palace.
