The Daily Mail have claimed that Leeds United have launched a bid for Barry Douglas, and it seems clear that Marcelo Bielsa already has doubts over his side’s options at left-back.

Leeds have recently been linked with both Joe Bryan (Daily Mirror) and Douglas, as Bielsa has made signing a new left-back one of his urgent priorities.

Stuart Dallas has been used at left wing back for much of pre-season so far, but Bielsa seemingly has doubts over whether the Northern Ireland international could play that role when the competitive season starts up.

Douglas was arguably the Championship’s best left-sided defender last term, with his performances impressing for Wolves.
