£10m forward from rivals and fan fave returns: Leeds possible starting XI on first day of 18/19
Jack Colback
Eunan O’Kane, Kalvin Phillips and Ronaldo Vieira have all been criticised this season so the second central midfield position is one that Orta and Heckingbottom will have to address.
Jack Colback has been in stunning form on loan at Nottingham Forest and the Newcastle midfielder would be a great addition at Elland Road.
It’s likely that he will leave St James’ Park in the summer with him nowhere near Benitez’s first-team plans despite playing a role in winning the Championship title last year.
Leeds have been linked with Colback in the past so it would not be a shock to see him with the Whites in the summer, even if he is reported to be earning £40,000-a-week.
