Last updated : 02 December 2003 By Kevin Smith
Leeds, who have sent details of their accounts to shareholders ahead of their AGM at the end of December, have revealed that they only received £2.5million for the Australian star.

Although they were reported to have received £3million, they paid £500,000 into the player's employee benefit trust.

Of the £5m transfer fee Kewell and his agent Bernie Mandic received £2million, plus the £500,000 into the trust.

Liverpool also paid a £2m signing-on fee.
