TBR’s View:
Leeds fans can expect plenty of speculation during the next couple of months when it comes to new signings and they are going to need a few quality faces come through the door to prepare for the Premier League.
Eze is a highly-rated Englishman that has been a real force in the Championship with QPR and looks destined to be playing in the top-tier next season, which is why he would be an immense £20million addition.
He scored 14 goals and supplied eight assists in 48 games across all competitions, and it’s easy to imagine him slotting in nicely to the attack-minded style at Leeds.
Meanwhile, Buendia has shown in glimpses this campaign what he can do in the Premier League and is perhaps in the mould of Pablo Hernandez, but has been in a struggling Norwich team.
