Leeds should enquire over Leicester’s Vicente Iborra.
Leeds United’s defeat to West Brom exposed the team’s limitations and manager Marcelo Bielsa needs to find solutions.
Adding new signings in January looks necessary rather than a luxury.
One smart move would be to enquire over Leicester City’s talented and under-utilised midfielder Vicente Iborra.
Leicester paid £10.5 million to sign Iborra from Sevilla in 2017.
His time at the King Power has so far been underwhelming, making only 17 starts in his debut league campaign last season.
This year he is even more out of favour. Iborra has started only one Premier League match, and made two appearances off the bench.
Leicester may want to keep the 30-year-old as a back-up option, but Leeds should enquire over the Spaniard.
Iborra was a Europa League winner with Sevilla and scored 30 goals from midfield during his four seasons with the club from 2013 to 2017.
He can hold his own defensively as well as contributing to attack and his versatility makes him ideal for Marcelo Bielsa.
A move would cost Leeds, but a loan is not out of the question if Iborra’s lack of game time continues.
It would be the sort of move which could change their season.
