Leeds United transfer rumours: Whites braced for 'massive' bid, Leeds tipped to lose battle for ex-Everton ace

Leeds United are back in action next Sunday, when they travel to north London to take on Antonio Conte's Spurs.

The Whites went into the international break off the back of an encouraging 1-1 draw with Leicester City, and will be hopeful of moving further away from the relegation zone once the season resumes next week.

As things stand, Leeds are 15th in the table with just 11 points from as many games, and the pressure is on the team to pick up some points with fixtures against the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace on the horizon.

Meanwhile, Leeds defender Diego Llorente has been signing the praises of his coach Marcelo Bielsa, and revealed: “I have not had any coach who analyses and studies so much every aspect of the game, no matter how small it may be.

“For Bielsa, football is his life. In summer he watches all the competitions and he is all day thinking about football. That shocked me because I have never had such a coach.

“He also works in a very specific way, which at first surprises you a bit, but then you see that everything has a reason. He analyses individual videos with you and I think he is one of the most complete trainers I have ever had.”

“It’s one of the individual goals that I set myself [playing for Spain] and that only happens by having continuity and doing a good job at Leeds.”
