The Argentine winger has been impressing with Sevilla for some time now, and now Marcelo Bielsa reportedly wants to re-unite with one of his former players.

Ocampos played under Bielsa at Marseille, and he’s proven himself to be a fantastic player at Sevilla, netting 14 goals in La Liga last term.

That would see Leeds smash their transfer record, and with Raphinha already operating on the right side, there are questions being raised about whether or not this would be a necessary signing, especially for that kind of price.

Leeds fans know the dangers of over-exerting yourself financially, and they’ve been expressing worries about this pricetag on social media.
