Leeds United have been linked with yet another left-back moving into the January transfer window in a couple of months time.
Football Insight has reported on Twitter that the Whites are looking to sign Olympiacos left-back Oleg Reabciuk.
It is suggested that it would likely cost between £8.4-12.6million to bring the Moldovan international to Elland Road.
Junior Firpo arrived in the summer from Barcelona to replace Ezgjan Alioski, but it hasn’t exactly gone to plan.
The Macedonian was one of our most reliable players last season, especially in terms of injury while those around him were dropping like flies.
Firpo has already been missing through COVID-19, and now an injury has caused him to miss the games with Southampton, Wolves and possibly more.
Stuart Dallas will now be forced to move back from midfield again, and hopefully, we don’t suffer completely with no real left-back in the squad.
We asked our esteemed panel of Super Fans if they would welcome the new signing, and the response was overwhelming.
The majority couldn’t believe it and one even called for Orta to be sacked and replaced with a specialised recruitment team moving forward.
Here’s what they said below…
It looks as though fans are starting to have had enough, but will Janaury change their minds? At this stage, it looks unlikely.
