Kapustka could be the perfect recruit for Garry Monk’s Leeds.

He can play in a number of attacking midfield positions which would surely benefit the West Yorkshire side in their hunt for promotion. The teenager can play on wither wing and can also play in the hole, so could be an excellent deputy for Pablo Hernandez when he needs a rest.

His wide play will also benefit Leeds, who could do with one more winger in their midst as they currently operate with a 4-3-3 formation.

Leeds are bound to make some moves in January but Monk will want quality and hard-working players. Kapustka is just that and in positions that they need to improve.

Leeds should surely be taking a look as well.
