A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Huesca striker Samuel Saiz has been pictured at Malaga airport as he prepares to jet in and complete his deal with Leeds today.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported on Friday that Saiz was set to seal his move to Leeds on Monday, after he returned from holiday.

Now, he has now been spotted at Malaga airport as he prepares for a flight into Leeds, and his picture was retweeted by the Yorkshire Evening Post's Phil Hay.

Saiz had a good season for Huesca in La Liga 2, scoring 12 goals and adding eight assists in 40 games.

He joined them from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2015, and now looks set to add his goals to Leeds' promotion push for a fee said to be around the £3m mark.

A number of top-flight Spanish clubs were interested in signing him this summer but Thomas Christiansen looks to have pipped them to the post.

He would become Leeds' seventh signing of the summer after Vurnon Anita, Felix Wiedwald, Mateusz Klich, Madger Gomes, Pontus Jansson and Hadi Sacko also agreed permanent deals.

In other Leeds transfer news, the Whites have confirmed that this young goalkeeper has signed a new three-year deal with the club.
