Leeds must do the unthinkable and accept £10m bid for senior player to ignite huge overhaul
Heck can re-shape team
When Saiz plays, he is almost always used in the No10 role with two attacking midfielders either side of him – Ezgjan Alioski and Stuart Dallas were the two at the Riverside and Sacko and Dallas were the pair at Elland Road against Wolves before the introduction of Pablo Hernandez – and a centre-forward in front, which has been Pierre-Michel Lasogga’s role for most of the season. Having a polished playmaker can only be a good thing, right? Not necessarily. If he doesn’t track back, press and cover runners off the ball, it can have negative repercussions. Selling Saiz would allow Heckingbottom greater tactical flexibility to re-shape the team.
