Leeds United were linked with the young Polish defender last August.
Lord knows that Leeds United need a host of new players this summer if they want to seriously challenge for Premier League promotion next season.
One area where Paul Heckingbottom and Director of Football Victor Orta should improve is defence and, specifically, Leeds’ centre-back options.
Aside from Pontus Jansson, United don’t have a stand-out player in this regard, but should the Elland Road club renew an interest in Arsenal’s Krystian Bielik this summer?
Goal.com reported last August that the 20-year-old starlet was wanted by Leeds on loan, but the young Pole’s season has been decimated by injury – first by a shoulder problem which kept him out until December, before a hamstring issue caused him to return from a half-season loan at Walsall last month.
He is likely to be fit by the summer, however, and Bielik’s spell at Birmingham City last season is evidence that he can be a superb defender in the Championship and one who the Elland Road club really should look at, because they won’t be the only second-tier side interested.
Leeds could and probably should also recruit a more senior and proven player to partner Jansson next term, but defensive depth is massively important and surely a talent who Arsene Wenger spent £2.4 million [BBC Sport] on in 2015 is worth taking on loan.
