Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds will not have to do much to convince players to sign for them before the loan deadline closes.

Leeds United’s fantastic start to the season under Marcelo Bielsa can only benefit them in the transfer market over the next 11 days.

Leeds are still eligible to sign players on loan, and Bielsa has admitted he still wants to strengthen the squad.

The good news for Leeds is, it should not take much trouble to convince players to join up.

Leeds have won all four games under Bielsa so far this season, and are among the favourites to win promotion.

This in itself makes joining the Whites an attractive proposition, especially combined with the chance to play in front of packed crowds at Elland Road, with more than 32,000 in attendance for the fixture with Rotherham.

What makes Leeds even more desirable for players, is the style of football they are playing under Marcelo Bielsa, whose reputation precedes him.

After the weekend’s 2-0 win, every Leeds outfield starter apart from Gaetano Berardi can boast they have either scored or provided an assist.

Through just four games, that is a remarkable statistic, and demonstrates that Leeds’ style of football is both effective and easy on the eye.

Players who are out of favour at Premier League teams should be queuing up to play for Bielsa’s Leeds, or will not have to think twice about joining if they receive an offer.

This makes the path for Leeds to add to their squad so much easier to negotiate over the final week and a half.
