Leeds United are reportedly pursuing three wingers.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa wants to bring in three wingers before the start of the season.
The Whites missed out on Daniel James in January, and with question marks over Jack Clarke’s future, it’s no great surprise that wing additions are high on Bielsa’s list of priorities.
Firstly, it’s stated that Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison is likely to return to Elland Road again, with the Premier League champions open to sending him back to West Yorkshire for another season.
Wolves ace Helder Costa is another target, and whilst that’s a little ambitious, it’s believed that owner Andrea Radrizzani has a strong link with Costa’s agent Jorge Mendes, meaning there is real hope of a deal.
Harrison would at least provide some continuity to the Leeds side, and he may be confident of kicking on after a full season under Bielsa, especially having blown hot and cold in his first spell.
Costa – a £13million signing for Wolves in 2017 (Express and Star) – struggled to replicate his Championship form in the Premier League, but the Portuguese winger would be a hugely exciting addition.
His last two Championship seasons saw him rack up 15 goals and 14 assists, and if Bielsa can get him back to his best, then he may be the dangerous winger Leeds have been waiting for.
Harrison and Costa would be two parts of the triple winger swoop Bielsa is aiming for, with Liverpool’s Ryan Kent another target, and Leeds fans will be hoping for some more effective signings than last summer’s crop.
