Leeds United Opinion: Signing Borja Valle will surely improve the Whites

Leeds United’s season has been a massive surprise to football followers all over the world as they have suddenly risen to new heights in the Championship as a part of their hunt for promotion to the Premier League.

Currently in 3rd place and level on points with 2nd-placed Sheffield United, they still have a very good chance of making the automatic promotion spots if they are able to remain consistent in the remainder of the season.

If this doesn’t go they way they plan it though, then they are almost guaranteed a place in the playoffs given their talent and point tally.

All the top three teams in the championship have all collected 19 wins each and the chasers are seperated from leaders Norwich by the virtue of the Canaries drawing a couple of games that the Whites and the Blades lost. 

As it turns out, the Whites have managed to score only 55 goals, which is the worst record of all the teams in the league’s top four. Despite this though, their decent defensive record has been enough to ensure that they’re still in the running for the title. 

One pressing issue at hand for manager Marcelo Bielsa is the lack of attacking firepower on the flanks. As of now, youngsters Jack Harrison and Jack Clarke and the 33-year-old Pablo Hernandez remain their only options. 

Also, with Ezgjan Alioski’s switch to the wing-back role, there is a need for reinforcement in the wide position, and considering that they could be in the Premier League next season, this issue becomes even more demanding.

If there is one player that Bielsa should target in the summer,it should be Deportivo La Coruna winger Borja Valle. The Spaniard is 26 years old and has formerly played for Spanish club Elche.

He is a hard-working left-winger who has had to go through a lot to get to the stage he is at today. This season, his movement and running have been sensational while his composure on the ball is the envy of many players at the club.

He is also an excellent finisher and this is highlighted in the fact that he has scored 5 goals from his 17 La Liga 2 appearances. He’s also notched up 3 assists. His movement will be a great addition to the Leeds front-line and Bielsa must get this deal completed.
