Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa’s plans for the new campaign are started to become clearer.

The three biggest losers from Leeds United’s appointment of Marcelo Bielsa are starting to become clear, and in this piece we discuss the reasons why.

Eunan O’Kane

Bielsa seemingly has decided that O’Kane has no future at Leeds.

The central midfielder has not been training with the first-team, with the YEP suggesting that he will be leaving this summer.

Leeds fans are unlikely to lose too much sleep over O’Kane’s departure, but he was a favourite of both Paul Heckingbottom and Thomas Christiansen.

And O’Kane may be thinking he would have still had a part to play at Leeds, if Heckingbottom had been kept in charge.

Hadi Sacko

With Lewis Baker already arriving and Leeds targeting another winger (YEP), Sacko’s future at Elland Road looks far from certain.

Sacko has shown flashes of talent during his time with Leeds, but has lacked consistency.

And it seems that Sacko’s game time could be even more limited next season, if Bielsa gets his transfer wishes.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell

Peacock-Farrell may consider himself unlucky to not be going into this season as Leeds’ number one goalkeeper.

Peacock-Farrell impressed towards the back end of last campaign, when he was handed a chance.

But today’s signing of Jamal Blackman looks to have knocked him down the pecking order, and Peacock-Farrell may feel unfortunate to only be a back-up option in Bielsa’s team.
