Leeds United should make a move for Daniel Pinillos, who is leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
West Bromwich Albion may not be willing to pay the £3.5 million that Leeds United want for Charlie Taylor, as reported by The Express & Star, but it is only a matter of time before the defender departs the Whites.
The 23-year-old is one of the best left-backs in the Championship, and since his contract with Leeds runs out in the summer and he has not signed a new deal, he is certain to leave the West Yorkshire outfit in the coming months.
Leeds need to start preparing for life after Taylor and sign a replacement; Daniel Pinillos would be perfect fit for the Whites.
Pinillos has revealed on social networking site Twitter that he is leaving Nottingham Forest, meaning that he will become a free agent in the summer (click here to read more).
| Season | Passing Accuracy | Tackles Won | Interceptions Won | Outfielder Blocks | Effective Clearances | Chances Created | Crossing Accuracy | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daniel Pinillos | 2016-2017 | 82% | 9 | 23 | 6 | 63 | 8 | 22% | 16 | 1,222 |
| Daniel Pinillos | 2015-2016 | 70% | 39 | 51 | 11 | 51 | 10 | 27% | 19 | 1,691 |
The Spanish left-back has had injury problems during his spell at Forest, but the 24-year-old has proved himself in the Championship.
When fit and on firm, the former Cordoba defender is one of the best left-backs in the Championship.
Leeds should make a move for Pinillos now. The Whites would not have to pay a transfer fee for the defender, who could be tempted into joining the Elland Road outfit as they would be aiming to finish in the Championship playoffs next season.
