Happy New Year. Welcome to 2021. Here are the latest headlines from Elland Road...
Diego Simeone eyeing up Rodrigo
Atletico Madrid are on the lookout for a replacement for Diego Costa after the club reached a mutual agreement with the 32 year old to terminate his stay with the La Liga giants. The former Chelsea forward's contract was set to expire this Summer, but he has asked Atletico to end his stay prematurely due to personal reasons.
Sources from the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium indicate that Leeds record signing Rodrigo may be on their shopping list. The 29 year old, although playing out of position in the attacking midfield role has already netted against Manchester City, Newcastle and West Brom have certainly see Rodrigo begin to pay back his a large chunk of his fee already!
Would you sell Rodrigo? If so, for how much?
Daniel James is a wanted man
The Sun are reporting that Leeds, West Brom, Burnley and Brighton are all in the hunt for Manchester Utd's winger Daniel James. The 23 year old has dropped down the pecking order this season, but was given a rare start against Leeds, and proved to be one of the best players on the pitch. It is widely believed that Ole Gunnar Solskjær wants the Welsh International to go out on loan to gain experience. Leeds have been chasing James' signature for two years, since the winger was practicing his trade with Swansea City.
Is Daniel James going to improve the squad at Leeds? Who would want him at Elland Road permanently?
