Middlesbrough are close to signing Yannick Bolasie. Should Leeds have pushed for a move?
Bolasie signed for Everton for £30 million two seasons ago from Crystal Palace, before a knee injury and several changes in management stunted his progress.
Middlesbrough currently lead the Championship after four games, having played one more than second placed Leeds United who are a point behind.
Leeds themselves may regret not making a move to try and land Bolasie on loan.
The Whites are playing attractive football this season, far easier on the eye than Pulis’ Middlesbrough.
Bolasie is a player who has built his reputation for playing on the deck, with his dribbling ability bamboozling opponents when he is on his game.
Leeds may regret not pushing to sign Bolasie, as players like the DR Congo international just do not become available to Championship clubs very often.
He is a certain upgrade on up and down Leeds winger Ezgjan Alioski, while in tandem with the Macedonian, the pair could have wreaked havoc.
It could be signing which is a promotion decided for Boro, and that alone should have Leeds questioning whether they have missed out on the bargain of the summer.
