Leeds United are hoping to sign El Shadayil Bitsiab from RB Leipzig in January.
The 20-year-old French defender has struggled to get regular minutes at the German club and will need to move if he is to play more often.
Leeds could use El Shadair Bitsiab
Leeds are fighting to survive in the Premier League but looked very vulnerable at the back. They are currently six points clear of the relegation zone, but must continue to improve if they are to survive in the top flight. Strengthening their defense should be a top priority for them and signing the French defender could help them.
The 20-year-old is a talented player who will be hungry to succeed at the highest level. He has struggled to get regular minutes in Germany and a move to the Premier League could open a whole new door for him. He wants to prove himself in English football and will be aiming to play regularly for Leeds.
Bitsiab could be the asset of the future
The 20-year-old is a young player with a lot of potential and could be a bargain for Leeds if they can sign him for a reasonable fee. It could be a sound investment for them.
If Leeds want to compete regularly in the Premier League, they need to keep improving their team. It will be interesting to see if English clubs respond to their interest with an offer to finalize the deal. According to TEAMtalk, they have already started negotiations with the German club regarding a possible transfer.
The 20-year-old is not an important player for RB Leipzig and they are unlikely to reject his move if a suitable offer is made. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
