Leeds United set to pay £21.5m initial fee for Luis Sinisterra
Leeds United will reportedly pay a fee in the region of £21.5million initially to secure the signing of Feyenoord attacker Luis Sinisterra.
According to Dutch media outlet Gerlander, Feyenoord will lose the services of the 23-year-old with a fee now being agreed.
He even missed their training session today before leaving for a training camp in Austria and will sign a two-year deal at Elland Road.
Bargain?
The Colombian was one of the leading attacking players in the Eredivise last season and he’ll surely be a valuable addition for Leeds.
Raphinha leaving was always going to leave a massive void in the squad and the onus is now on Victor Orta and the hierarchy to replace him.
While it is hard to find a like-for-like player that will be willing to come to Elland Road this summer, what the plan seems to be is something different.
Instead of having one or two standout players as they did under Marcelo Bielsa, Jesse Marsch seems to prefer a more balanced squad.
It will be interesting to see how that works as the likes of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips often bailed the club out when the chips were down.
We’re hoping Sinisterra has the impact like the Brazilian did on the right flank as he’s got age and a nearly unblemished injury record on his side.
In other Leeds United news, the club have now opened talks with an ‘Incredible’ title-winning central midfielder to replace Kalvin Phillips.
