Arsenal youngster Krystian Bielik should be on Leeds United’s radar.
According to well-known journalist Phil Hay, Leeds United are about to sell defender Pontus Jansson to another English club for £5.5 million.
The transfer will reportedly go through in the next 24 hours, and Leeds should use that money to fund a move for Arsenal youngster Krystian Bielik.
The Sun recently claimed that Bielik wants to leave the Gunners in the summer transfer window after getting frustrated due to his lack of playing time, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side should make a move.
True, Jansson is a much better central defender, but Bielik is very promising and can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.
Given that the Poland Under-21 international is only 21 years of age, he can only improve and develop in the coming years, and working under Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa, he will get better.
Moreover, Leeds wanted to sign Bielik back in August 2017, as reported by Goal.com, and the youngster has done well during a loan spell at Charlton Athletic.
With Bielik reportedly wishing to leave Arsenal, the defender will not be costly and may not cost £5.5m.
