Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is on course to lead Leeds to promotion.
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is on the verge of leading the club to promotion.
If successful, Leeds have decisions to make over their next steps forward in the transfer market.
A credible and sensible strategy for Bielsa and Leeds is to raid the Championship’s top talent.
Bielsa and his staff have amassed hours of research, video and data analysis on every team they have played against this season.
Even in the Premier League, this can be put to good use, with Leeds cherry picking some of the division’s best players at good prices.
Winger Dan James is a contender to be snapped up from Swansea City, with Leeds coming close to landing him in January.
Talented players from teams around the division like Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday could come onto their radar.
Leeds will need ‘Premier League standard’ players in the top flight, but there are several of these in the Championship already.
You can trust Bielsa may have identified a fair few already, who could help him next season.
