Leeds United have been linked with hiring Aston Villa boss.

Leeds United have this week been linked with a shock move for Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce.

The Star claimed Leeds are monitoring his situation as Villa ponder his future and they weigh up what to do with manager Paul Heckingbottom.

The Whites have since been linked with Marcelo Bielsa – by El Correo – but if they choose the safe option then Bruce is certainly their man.

Bruce moving to Leeds would see them swapping potential for experience, and Bruce would bring a huge contacts book with him of potential signings.

One obvious one would be former Leeds United winger Robert Snodgrass, who has spent the past season on loan at Villa Park.

He hoped to sign permanently at Villa but after they missed out on promotion, he will not be returning.

West Ham may take a second look at him this summer, but an exit from the club is most likely.

Leeds are not currently in contention to sign him, but put Bruce in the Elland Road dugout and he will become a top target.

Snodgrass is a proven commodity in the Championship, scoring seven goals this season and providing 13 assists.

He is a fan favourite at Elland Road, and the duo of Bruce and Snodgrass would demonstrate in an instant that Andrea Radrizzani is taking promotion seriously.
