Leeds United were one of the clubs who had a quiet transfer window.
Marcelo Bielsa was happy with his squad and didn’t feel the need to add new players.
However, it seems, Leeds are already planning for the summer and Victor Orta is working behind the scene on potential targets.
Hay claims that Bielsa and Orta feel the need to sign a midfield pivot in the summer transfer window.
Kalvin Phillips is the club’s first-choice defensive midfielder but Leeds are looking for a direct cover, a like-for-like cover in his absence.
The Atheltic journalist claims that Victor Orta “spent time on last month” (probably he meant looking at targets) as he began to “lay the ground” and any recruitment there would be to “cover for Phillips, rather than threatening his place in the team”.
