Leeds United made a statement when they handed Pablo Hernandez a two-and-a-half year contract this week at the age of 34.

Director of football Victor Orta has explained why Leeds are confident it is the right move.

He believes that the players Leeds have recently signed to new deals have all improved under Marcelo Bielsa.

Orta told the club website: “We have to thank the chairman for backing us to give players new deals and we have to acknowledge that all of those given new contracts have significantly improved under our head coach.”

Poland midfielder Mateusz Klich signed a new deal with Leeds just earlier in November.

Young talent Leif Davis was another to pen a new contract recently.
