‘The numbers can’t be wild’: Phil Hay makes exciting Leeds summer transfer claim

‘Very dangerous’: Bielsa raves about Leeds player; drops hint about summer transfer plans
Marcelo Bielsa has dropped a hint that he may not look to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window. Leeds United have been heavily reliant on Patrick Bamford, and there are suggestions that Bielsa should look to add more quality in the forward department.
