Leeds United transfer news: Whites set to battle La Liga giants for £35m sensation, fresh left-back target eyed

Leeds United are well on the way to finalising their list of new signing targets ahead of the transfer window opening next week, a they look to strengthen their side ahead of the 2021/22 season.

The Whites enjoyed an excellent return to the Premier League last season, refusing to compromise over their attractive style of football despite the quality of their opponents and securing a comfortable top half finish.

Meanwhile, Leeds defender Diego Llorente has been reflecting on his first season at the club, and said:

“It was a big adaptation for me, obviously changing country for the first time, I was now faced with a different language, different sets of circumstances when I trained and a new league

“At first it was particularly hard and obviously the injuries made that adaptation process even more difficult, but in general I’m very happy and I think I adapted quite well once I managed to get those injuries behind me.

“I knew it wouldn’t be too difficult to adapt to this style of play, because it was similar to the style of my previous team, but I think the Premier league is more physical than La Liga and you could say that that was what made it difficult for me at first.

“However, I had the belief of my coach and my team-mates and that helped me a lot.”
