Leeds have spent around 25m euros with add ons to sign 23-year-old Colombian international Sinisterra from Feyenoord as the club's sixth signing of the summer.
The winger arrives at Leeds with an impressive record of goals and assists but Marsch says there is even more to Sinisterra than what he is capable of on the pitch.

Hailing what himself, director of football Victor Orta and chairman Andrea Radrizzani were looking for in signing Sinisterra, Marsch beamed: "I think he's a powerful, fast explosive player that's also intelligent, that can play football, but that can also really play intensively.
"Within 48 hours with him we had a lot of little video sessions and little conversations and you could see quickly that he's fit well within the group.
"As much as we were looking to bring in players that have certain football qualities, we wanted to make sure that given the quality of the group and how strong they are together, how committed they are with the strong mentality that they have and what good people they are, for Victor and I and Andrea, I think the first step was evaluating the people that we wanted to bring in and making sure that we continue to have such a strong character in our team.


"I think Luis fits that really well."

Even with six arrivals through the door, United are still looking to further strengthen their squad by landing an additional striker option.
