MOT View: Rodrigo De Paul proves again he would be perfect signing for Leeds
Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has once again proved on Saturday why he would be the perfect signing for Leeds United.
Despite numerous links with a move to Elland Road in the past year, Phil Hay claimed that the Whites could be looking at other options.
The Argentine international has constantly fed the narrative of a move to West Yorkshire, consistently liking social media posts from Leeds fans around the globe.
All-action.
If Leeds were potentially thinking of other targets, De Paul’s performance against Crotone on Saturday is certain to change their mind.
The Udinese skipper found the back of the net twice as he guided his side to a crucial 2-1 victory away from home in the Serie A.
Premier Sports shared a clip of his second goal on Twitter, labelling it as an “absolute clinic” as he weaved his way through the defence before calmly slotting home.
Despite his role in the victory, it didn’t end there.
De Paul was later sent off with a straight red card for an accidental high foot which caught a Crotone player on his face, proving his tenacity in defence.
Marcelo Bielsa would surely love that desire from a midfield player to get back and defend a critical lead late on, despite him getting it horribly wrong.
According to WyScout, no player in Europe’s top-five leagues is expected to have had as many assists this season than the 26-year-old.
Imagine him ahead of Kalvin Phillips, he has once again proved he would be the perfect Leeds signing with yet another masterclass today.
Although it appears unlikely, clips like these only make us dream that it could be possible for De Paul to get announced at Elland Road; we can dream.
