So, let’s have a look at the summer transfer window and what Leeds need to do.
It’s quite clear what the Whites’ number one priority needs to be this summer – they need to sign a new centre-back.
Saying that a team with the best defensive record in their division need a new defender sounds a bit preposterous, but their options next season don’t look too great.
With Ben White set to return to Brighton and Gaetano Berardi’s contract expiring, Liam Cooper is currently the only senior centre-half signed on beyond this season, and it goes without saying that is a huge problem.
United need to bring in reinforcements, but they can’t just go gung-ho and sign the first man they’re offered.
Just look at how they got it right when they signed White. The Brighton loanee was a complete unknown last term, and he’d never played above League One level, but after two years of tracking him, Leeds were confident he had what it takes to play for Bielsa’s side, and they were spot on as he’s gone on to start every league game this term.
Ok, Leeds don’t have two years to plan this, but they do need to do their due diligence on any potential signing to make sure he’s the right man to come in.
The Yorkshire club’s success this season has been so heavily built around their defensive brilliance, conceding fewer goals than any other team in the league, and if that is to continue they have to get this signing absolutely right in the summer.
In other news, Leeds would be in trouble if this 1960s protocol is followed.
