Leeds United fans react to Reto Ziegler rumour

Leeds United are linked with the 31-year-old free agent.

Leeds United fans seem very happy with rumours linking them with Reto Ziegler.

Swiss publication RTS reported that Leeds are interested in the 31-year-old left-back, who is a free agent following the expiration of his FC Sion contract this summer.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man has 35 Switzerland caps and seems like he would be quite a decent addition for Thomas Christiansen’s side ahead of the new season.

The Whites are in the market for a left-back following Charlie Taylor’s move to Burnley and although the likes of Vurnon Anita and Gaetano Berardi can play there, they are not naturals.

A move for Manchester United’s Cameron-Borthwick Jackson, 20, has been mooted, but Leeds supporters would be pleased if Ziegler comes in, based on Twitter reaction.

O’Kane doing lots of #lufc publicity. He gonna be new captain? Also, Ziegler is 10x better than Borthwick-Jackson.

Seen we are being linked with Reto Ziegler? Remember him as a flying left wing back in his youth more of a CB these days, no risk deal #lufc

Cover for CB and LB, if he comes in have to assume starting CB’s will be pen and Jansson, good to have an old head in the back line?

United kick off their Championship season on Sunday with a trip to Bolton Wanderers and, barring a quick deal, Berardi or Anita will line up at left-back it seems.
