Leeds should make late loan bid for Everton’s Kieran Dowell

Leeds United reportedly have their eye on one final signing this summer, and the Everton ace could perhaps be a fantastic addition.

It was reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post this week that Marcelo Bielsa wants to bring one more signing to Leeds before the deadline, with a new attacking midfielder wanted to provide cover for Samu Saiz.

The Whites arguably have a number of options who could perhaps be deployed in that central attacking role should Saiz be unavailable for any reason, so it would appear that the new signing would need to be the kind of addition that has the potential to capture the imagination to be deemed worthwhile.

It is not going to be an easy task for any player to provide cover for Saiz given the way that the Spanish magician has started the campaign, so a player with potential and a proven Championship record may be ideal for the Whites as they look to capitalise on their brilliant start.

And that should perhaps tempt Leeds to have a serious look at Everton youngster Kieran Dowell, who shone for much of last term while he was out on loan with Nottingham Forest.

The 20-year-old’s form tailed off as the campaign went on, but he still managed to score nine times from attacking midfield and also provide four assists in the league. He therefore, had a direct hand in one more goal than Saiz during the season.

Bielsa has shown during the early stages of his spell at Elland Road that he can bring the best out of certain players, and if he did pursue Dowell and the pair did click, he could be a fantastic option to not only cover Saiz, but also push the Whites’ current talisman.
