Where will Leeds United finish at the end of the season?
Tony Cascarino has stated that he doesn’t understand how Leeds United secured the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Helder Costa.
Earlier on in the summer, Leeds added the services of the Wolves winger to their Championship ranks, with his initial loan deal set to be made permanent next summer [LUFC’s official website].
It was a smart and much-needed signing for Leeds because he has experience of winning promotion and he will provide Marcelo Bielsa with attacking depth ahead of the new campaign.
Speaking to Weekend Sports Breakfast on TalkSport (03/08/2019 at 8:55 am), Cascarino was seemingly perplexed at how Leeds signed Costa.
“Leeds is a funny one,” Cascarino told TalkSport. “Pontus Jansson has left the club, he was one of the Leeds favourites. They bought Helder Costa, how they got that over the line, I don’t know. But they did it. It’s typical Bielsa.”
Winger Costa will be hoping to start for Leeds as they kick off their Championship season away at Bristol City on Sunday afternoon.
It is a tough start for Bielsa’s side because they will be coming up against an attack-minded team and one that will be hoping to finish in the top-six.
The new season in itself has already kicked off, with the likes of Cardiff City, Fulham and Stoke City all suffering defeats on the opening day.
It was a typical start to the Championship campaign and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Leeds add to the drama at Ashton Gate.
