TBR View: Gvardiol could be incredibly exciting roll of dice from Leeds

𝔉Signing Gvardiol for an eight-figure would be a gamble for Leeds. He has only made a handful of appearances in senior football.

💫However, the signs suggest that the teenager could be a seriously special player in the future. He looks confident on the ball, and is certainly not afraid to drive forward out of the back line in a way that may evoke memories of Ben White for supporters should he end up at Elland Road.

🗹He is also a very exciting passer of the ball. Gvardiol does not hesitate when it comes to taking on an ambitious pass.

𝔉Leeds will be well aware of the risks attached to making such a move. So it is a huge statement that the Whites have reportedly made such a large bid.
