Phil Hay names player who Leeds are ‘More likely’ to sign than Rodrigo De Paul

The Athletic journalist Phil Hay says that Leeds United are “more likely” to sign Josko Gvardiol from Dinamo Zagreb than Rodrigo De Paul from Udinese at this stage. After Leeds sealed the deals for Rodrigo Moreno and Robin Koch, Gvardiol and De Paul are the other names who have been linked with the Whites. Amid the links, Phil Hay has provided an update on Leeds' pursuit of Gvardiol and De Paul. “No significant movement on that front. Leeds haven’t moved to get it done and it’s been three weeks now since the Rodrigo/Koch deals. They’re not liking Udinese’s asking price of £35m and they seem to be in two minds about whether to go for it. Gvardiol more likely at this stage but still not got the green light either," Phil said on The Athletic’s website. “The thing about Gvardiol is that he could be a terrific long term investment. He’s seen as one of the best young centre-backs in Europe. So if he’s up for grabs, this might be the time to get it done. But Bielsa wasn’t interested in another CB beyond Koch/White in the summer and Struijk will have given him confidence last weekend. Ultimately, the club will take their lead from Bielsa when it comes to what happens next. I always remind myself that he doesn’t like a big squad," he added. source - MOTLeedsNews Join us on Telegram
