TBR View: Exciting step for Leeds

After a fairly quiet start to the transfer window, it will excite many Leeds fans that it appears that a marquee signing may not be too far away.

The club have done some excellent business during the early stages of the summer. But the new faces brought in so far look set to predominantly improve the long-term picture at Elland Road.

Rodrigo however, would be a fantastic addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s ranks ahead of the club’s Premier League return.

And with Radrizzani and Orta both reportedly in town to try and tie up a deal, the Leeds fans will be hoping that an announcement may not be too far away.
