LEEDS HOPING TO TIE DOWN BRAZIL MIDFIELDER TO NEW DEAL

English Premier League club Leeds United are facing a huge fight to keep their star player Raphinha. The Brazil international winger is one of Leeds’ prized assets but he has constantly been linked with a move away from the club following series of consistent performances under manager Marcelo Bielsa. He was reportedly close to leaving the club last summer, with Arsenal said to have shown interest in acquiring his services but Leeds were having none of it and rebuffed any negotiations aimed at getting him away from the club.

Argentine manager Bielsa believes that Raphinha is one of the club’s best players and has told the ub’s board that he does not wish to see him leave. The club are therefore expected to table a new contract extension proposal to the Brazilian star as they wish to convince him to continue his career at Elland Road.

HOW WILL JAMES PERFORM AT LEEDS UNITED?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-CaU2nXIIEfJcb.jpg

Following his transfer from Manchester United to Leeds United this summer, there has been a couple of questions asked about the impact Daniel James will make at Elland Road. The young Wales international star was told that he would no longer be guaranteed regular game time at Old Trafford and that it would be the best decision for him to move to another club. He eventually decided to leave the Red Devils and he signed for the club that were in the running to sign him when he was leaving his former club Swansea City back in the summer transfer window of 2019. United only managed to sign the player then because he thought they were a better option than Leeds.

However, as things turned out, he has finally joined Leeds and it now remains to be seen how he will be used by Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa. James is another exciting attacking option that Bielsa willhave in his hands and a club like Leeds will not be expected to sign a player for £25 million only for him to come to sit on the substitute’s bench. The winger is expected to make it straight into the team’s starting eleven eventually even if not immediately and a lot would be expected of him if that does happen.
