Leeds have completed six summer signings after announcing a deal for Luis Sinisterra on Thursday afternoon – and Simon Grayson has given his verdict on this summer’s business, responding to the arrival of the Colombian.
Sinisterra, 23, joins Leeds on a five-year deal after shining for Feyenoord during the 2021-22 season. Clocking up 49 appearances for the Eredivisie side, having a hand in 37 goals – scoring 23 and creating 14.

It came less than 24 hours after USA international Tyler Adams joined the club from RB Leipzig. Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca and Darko Gyabi have also joined the club – all for nearly a huge £100million.
Leeds have got their business done early. The club are expected to still want a striker, and perhaps an experienced back-up goalkeeper. Raphinha is likely to go. But ex-Leeds boss Grayson has been impressed with Leeds activity.

Sinisterra is the eye-catching deal of the six. Aaronson was always likely after January interest, Kristensen was pivotal with Luke Ayling out of the first few games next season. Roca and Adams were crucial.
The two midfield signings compliment the loss of Kalvin Phillips – while the club also boast Adam Forshaw, Stuart Dallas, Lew Bate, Gyabi and Archie Gray as cover. Sinisterra is a brilliant, cheap-ish replacement for Raphinha.
Leeds now need a striker. Milan are getting closer to the signing of Charles De Ketelaere so it will be interesting to see where the Whites turn next. But of course, they may have to sell Raphinha first.
