Targets to Acquire : Leeds United

 

Leeds United have had quite the season, especially for a newly-promoted side. They are unbeaten at home against the big 6 and certainly put up a show every game. Leeds have proven that they’re here to stay, but they need a few signings to compete for Europe. In this article, we’ll be covering the areas they need to improve and who would be the feasible options.


Position: Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)

Leeds need to integrate an energetic CAM into the team. They are heavily dependent on creation from the flanks by Raphinha and Jack Harrison. Pablo Hernández, although a legend to the team, might not have the stamina and fitness to fit into Bielsa’s team anymore, having also sat out most of the season anyway. Leeds need a bit more of Brazillian Magic to compete for Europe.

Targets to Acquire: Matheus Pereira


Matheus Pereira has arguably been one of the best players of the newly relegated side, West Bromwich Albion. While only considering base stats, He has 17 g/a ( 11 goals and 6 assists ) in only 30 premier league games. He averages 2 shots per game, 1.8 key passes, and 1.2 dribbles per game. He’s also quite versatile as he can be deployed left, right, and center in the midfield having played 13 games in the middle, 12 on the right, and 4 on left. The best part is he could be bought in for an estimated fee of between 15-20 million euros which is an absolute steal for the kind of player he is.


Position: Centre Back (CB)

This is another position which needs to be looked into by Leeds United. Their current center backs are good but Leeds are on route to Europe and need players which have had experience in European competitions. The center-back should also have the intensity required to play for a Leeds side. 

Target to Acquire: Nico Elvedi

.

The 24-year-old Swiss has been a stonewall for an underperforming Borussia Mönchengladbach side. He averaged 1.7 tackles per game, 2.3 interceptions, and 4.1 clearances per game in the 28 Bundesliga games he played. His Champions League stats are quite the icing on the cake as he averaged 2.1 tackles per game, 1.6 interceptions, and 4.4 clearances per game. Keeping in mind they did have to face Real Madrid and Inter Milan in the group stage. His CL experience will come in handy for Leeds and he could be one of the core players of the Leeds rebuild. Having a market value of 32 million euros and a contract till 2024, he should cost Leeds a fee of 40-45 million euros.


Targets to Acquire: Jack Harrison


Jack Harrison is quite an obvious one. Rumors already suggest Leeds have already put in a bid for the Man City Loanee. Harrison has been a shining light for Leeds this season having scored 8 and assisted 8. He’s a regular starter and has established his place in Bielsa’s team. The rumor suggests a 15 million offer has been presented to Manchester City. Even though the sale will take place as he isn’t required in the City side, the deal will probably be of around 20-25 million euros.


These are the targets to acquire: Leeds United, comment down below who Leeds should sign to compete for Europe.

  Mount or Foden : Which star shines brightest? Mason Mount or Phil Foden? This debate has been one of the most popular ones when talking about young English talents. Both the youngsters have had brilliant seasons, where Foden won the PL title and Carabao Cup whereas Mount won the Champions League. Even though the youngsters play in similar positions, their roles in the team aren’t exactly the same. Today, we will come to a verdict on which youngster is better. Mason Mount : Chelsea’s Finest Mason Mount has been one of the best and most consistent performers in this Chelsea side for the past two years. He has bagged a total of 11 goals and 7 assists for Chelsea across all competitions this season. This also includes a crucial assist in the Champions League final against Manchester City. Not to forget, he also scored a crucial freekick in the last gameweek in 19/20 to secure Champions League football for Chelsea. Offensively, Mason Mount averaged 2 SpG ( shots per game ), 2.1 key pa...

Sensible Transfers : Barcelona

Sensible Transfers : Barcelona The Spanish giants have been on the decline for quite a while now, atleast by their sextuple standards and the roar that the MSN trio created in the spanish and champions league. They are facing problems off the field as well, being in debt of approximately a billion euros. They no longer look the same threat they used to and have recently been embarrassed at Camp Nou by Paris Saint Germain where the match ended 4-1 to the French. They really need to bring their spark back and here are a few areas where they need to work on to get back to winning ways. The Speedy Defender. Barcelona miserably failed to play a highline against PSG and even though their tactics may have been right, they didn't have the pace in their defenders to pull it off. Gerard Pique is well past his prime and Barca need a young and pacy centre back in order to play their high line. Even though they will have Todibo returning from loan, they still need another centeral defender to s...

Worthy or Not? Arsenal edition

Worthy or Not? Arsenal Edition In this series, we’ll be rating some of the most solid transfer rumours for each club. The players will be rated on their performances, their price tags and how well they would settle into the club’s system. Today the club being discussed would be Arsenal, let’s see if the targets are worthy or not! Worthy or Not? 1) Ben White : Brighton & Hove Albion Arsenal are rumoured to be paying 50 million Euros for The 23-year-old English centre half. He has played 36 games this season for the Seagulls and has been quite impressive. He averages 11.54 pressures per 90, 1.58 tackles, 1.27 interceptions, 1.95 blocks, 2.2 clearances and 1.47 aerials won per 90. As Brighton do compete in the same league, and White made the cut of the Euro 2020 squad, his evaluation seems to be higher than his quality. And for a club like Arsenal, splashing 50 million on a centre back may not be the best move. Rating : 7/10 (Not Worthy) 2) Manuel Locatelli : Sassuolo Arsenal have lau...
