da 888casino: Speaking to Football Insider, Noel Whelan has highlighted the one signing Leeds United need to prioritise above all others this summer.
The BBC Radio Leeds pundit has claimed that above any possible moves in the transfer market the Whites must keep Marcelo Bielsa at the club.
What’s been said then?
Amongst all the speculation that the former Marseille boss is set to leave Elland Road Whelan has said that his former club need to tie their manager down.
“If Leeds can get Bielsa to stay for one more season that would be the best signing of the summer.
“The way he goes about his job and gets the best out of the players at his disposal, the attractiveness of the playing style, he leaves no corner unturned.
“His first season was a great effort, no doubt about that and I’m sure he has learned a lot from it that would hold him in good stead if he returns.
“If we can get a deal over the line that is absolutely key. It’s been difficult for the club and Mr Bielsa to make plans because we don’t know what league we’re going to be in next season. Keeping Bielsa will put a lot of the players’ minds at ease.”
Statement of intent
The 44-year-old has never been more right when talking about United.
What the Argentine brings to the team couldn’t be replaced by any potential signing this summer, and therefore keeping him at the club must be Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani’s priority.
Tying the 63-year-old down to a new contract amidst interest from Roma, Girona and Celta Vigo would not only benefit them on the pitch next season, but it would act as a statement of intent that could entice new signings to Elland Road.
For Leeds to beat out these European clubs for Bielsa’s signature shows that they are serious about getting back into the Premier League, and perhaps that would encourage other players to join the Yorkshire outfit.
