The Whites have already made two signings this summer.
Jack Harrison finally joined Leeds on a permanent basis having spent three really successful seasons on loan with the West Yorkshire outfit.
Meanwhile, Junior Firpo has arrived from Barcelona for around £12.8 million.
Leeds are certainly a club on the rise. There is a real feeling of optimism emanating from Elland Road.
The Whites seem to be in the market for some exciting players and the way in which they finished the Premier League campaign last season proves that they can push for a top six finish this term.
Marcelo Bielsa wants to strengthen key position
The Argentine is keen to bring in a talented young central midfielder who he can develop into a player who perfectly fits Leeds’ system and playing style.
That’s according to The Athletic.
The Whites have been heavily linked with a move for Cagliari ace Nahitan Nandez. The Athletic reckon that Leeds signing the Uruguayan midfielder is unlikely, however.
Its seems as though Bielsa has more of a long-term vision in mind for his Leeds team.
Quite who Bielsa wants to bring to Elland Road remains to be seen. Some may say that signing a young, unproven player would be a big risk.
