TBR View: Urhoghide worth the gamble for Leeds

Leeds probably do not need to bolster their centre-back ranks this summer. Marcelo Bielsa is close to having all of his five first-choice options available for the first time this season.

Meanwhile, the likes of Olly Casey and Charlie Cresswell continue to impress for the under-23s. So Leeds are well-stocked.

Nevertheless, Urhoghide may still be a worthwhile signing for Leeds. Obviously, he is set to be available on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, he is capable of also playing in both full-back roles. So there looks to be an opportunity for his next club to send him down a number of paths.
