Leeds United are reportedly keen on Ruben Pardo.
Spanish outlet El Gol Digital report Leeds United are taking interest in Real Sociedad star Ruben Pardo.
Pardo, 26, would become a target for Marcelo Bielsa if Leeds win promotion to the Premier League.
Signing the Spaniard would fill an obvious need for Bielsa’s side.
Kalvin Phillips has been terrific for Leeds this season. Where they have not always succeeded is in finding a consistently strong partner for him.
Adam Forshaw has had a mixed season and there are doubts whether he can lift his game to star in the top flight.
Mateusz Klich really has been impressive at times, but the fan favourite has also had spells of inconsistency.
Adding Pardo into the mix would upgrade the Leeds squad considerably.
The midfielder needs a move too. In three seasons between 2014 and 2016 he provided 21 assists.
He has managed just two since, falling out of favour in Sociedad’s starting XI.
Playing under Marcelo Bielsa could let him loose, and at the right price, Pardo could be an astute signing.
