da doce： According to Sky Sports, Leeds United have agreed a fee with Wolves to sign their left-back, Barry Douglas.
da cassino online： Once this deal has gone through, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa will have the left flank of his defensive line sorted and settled ahead of the upcoming Championship season.
The heart of the defence at Elland Road is a different matter altogether though.
There are currently only three recognised centre-backs on the books at the club. Amongst them is Liam Cooper, who struggled last season to reach the standard expected of him.
An addition certainly needs to be made in this area of the pitch. Whoever comes in needs to be of starting quality too, as Leeds’ current options, collectively, simply aren’t good, or numerous, enough.
Towards the end of the last Premier League season, as Arsenal were focusing upon their Europa League progress, Mavropanos got a run of games in the first team.
During those outings, whilst his inexperience and rawness occasionally showed, his quality shone through.
The 20-year-old Greek played with maturity, awareness and was physically and aerially dominant. What he needs now is regular game time to develop. With the likes of Sokratis, Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny, Calum Chambers and Rob Holding also on the books at the Emirates though, a loan move would be Mavropanos’ best chance of getting regular minutes.
Leeds should look into offering that opportunity to the talented youngster.
The German centre-back, who has made two appearances for his country, hasn’t managed to play regular football with a club since the 2015/16 Premier League season, when he was at Stoke City.
Wollscheid is now a free agent following difficult stints with Wolfsburg and Metz. A drop down to Championship level could be what the 29-year-old now needs to get his career back on track.
He is clearly a talented defender, with plenty of football left in his legs. If Bielsa backs himself to be able to restore Wollscheid to his best, then swooping for the 6’4” centre-back on a free transfer would be a wise move.
