Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. 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.

Leeds United have been linked with a stunning move for Tottenham centre-back Juan Foyth and Leeds fans would love it if the move came off.

Bielsa has been confirmed as the manager at Elland Road and is looking to use his connections with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino to help sign new players.

Argentine outlet Varksy Sports claimed on their official Twitter account that Bielsa is keen on a temporary move for the 20-year-old for next season.

Foyth joined Spurs last summer for £12million from Estudiantes and made eight senior appearances under Mauricio Pochettino last season.

It is thought that Pochettino might look to send him on loan to continue his development, and Leeds would make a lot of sense.

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa and Pochettino have good contacts, with the Spurs manager calling him my "football father".

Plus Bielsa is Argentine, like Foyth, and Pochettino could see Elland Road as the ideal destination to continue his growth.

Pochettino sees Foyth as a big talent and Leeds fans would love to get their hands on him for next season.

Here are the best reactions from Leeds fans to the transfer report:
