Leeds United were quiet in the January transfer window, but planning seems to have already started for the summer window.
The Whites chose not to get involved in the January chaos, seemingly keeping their calm until the summer, when there is more time to pull off deals.
Still, Victor Orta and co have allegedly set about teeing up a summer signing, with Brest defender Romain Perraud a wanted man.
Le10 Sport that Leeds and Southampton have both opened talks to try and sign the left back this summer, with a strong chance that he heads to England.
Perraud did recently sign a new deal, but that is seen as more of a way to maintain his value rather than keep him at the club for years to come.
Leeds fans should be excited; Perraud would fill Leeds’ problematic left back spot, whilst he has excelled going forward this season with three goals and five assists in 21 games.
That kind of attacking play should leave Bielsa very excited – and leave Celtic kicking themselves.
The Bhoys wanted to sign Perraud from Nice in 2019, but Perraud claims that Celtic changed their mind on a deal at the last minute, meaning he ended up going to Brest instead.
Celtic may regret that decision now. Their left back spot is far from settled, with Greg Taylor yet to truly shine and Diego Laxalt only on loan from AC Milan, meaning they may be in the market for a fourth left back signing since the end of the 2018-19 season.
Seeing Perraud go on to make a big Premier League move to Leeds would be hard to swallow for Celtic, as they would have not only missed out on his quality, but also the chance of some major profit on the Frenchman.
