Leeds United fans have predicted that Marcelo Bielsa will dump Eunan O’Kane instantly, if he does take charge at Elland Road.

Leeds have been linked heavily with Bielsa in El Correo, following the sacking of Paul Heckingbottom earlier today.

The Argentine boss is famous for his style, which demands a high pressing style, and committees numerous bodies forward.

And there are suggestions around Leeds that O’Kane simply wouldn’t fit into that sort of system.

O’Kane has a disappointing season over the past campaign for Leeds, but he continued to be picked regularly.

Both Thomas Christiansen and Heckingbottom were pleased with O’Kane’s contributions, even if large portions of the Elland Road crowd weren’t.

If Bielsa is brought in at Leeds, it seems likely that he will have to make a lot of changes in the transfer window.

Leeds finished in mid-table over the past season, but their decision to replace Heckingbottom shows their ambition heading into the new campaign.
