Leeds United should consider making a loan move for the talented Manchester City youngster this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa has plenty of work to do at Elland Road this summer, if he is to guide his Leeds side back into contention for promotion to the Premier League this season.
The Argentine will receive a helping hand from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, however, according to a report from the Sun.
The British tabloid claims that the Spaniard will loan a handful of players to the Whites this summer, as he is a big fan of the way in which Bielsa sets his teams up to play.

With this mind, Leeds should consider a move for City’s brilliant youngster Oleksandr Zinchenko, after the Ukrainian really impressed when given an opportunity to shine last season.
The 21-year-old is a central midfielder by trade, but he demonstrated his versatility for City last term, filling in at left-back when required to do so.
He is technically gifted, as you would imagine someone playing under Pep Guardiola to be, and he is now at the age where he will be really looking to break through by achieving regular first-team action.
That will obviously not happen at the Etihad this season, so a move to Elland Road would surely be the ideal outcome for all parties involved.
And what a signing he could turn out to be for Leeds.
The west Yorkshire outfit lacked any kind of guile and genuine quality in the middle of the park last term, and Zinchenko’s arrival at the club would undoubtedly help them improve upon the fluidity of their play.
Given the chance of regular action at Leeds, the Ukraine international would surely develop into a more well-rounded player, so that would obviously benefit City too.
In fact, Zinchenko joining the Whites on loan would be the ideal outcome for all parties involved.
