He must play regularly at this stage of his career, and it appears that Premier League clubs are ready to offer him an exit route.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to a report from TMW, there are talks about the possibility of a UK return to football, and Leeds United is already investigating players. However, there is nothing specific. It remains to be seen whether the newly promoted club has decided to offer an official offer to sign players.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis has also been linked to his return to Aston Villa. Meanwhile, clubs like Manchester United are keeping an eye on his situation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_new_start_might_be_ideal\"><\/span>A new start might be ideal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lewis plays for the UK with Aston Villa and he knows the league very well. He was able to prove to be an excellent addition. He excelled during his time at the West Midlands Club. Returning to English football, you can bring out the best of him again. He has been called a &#8220;world-class&#8221; player during the Premier League.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leeds_can_use_Douglas_Lewis\"><\/span>Leeds can use Douglas Lewis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Douglas Lewis of Juventus (Photo: Marco Luzani\/Getty Image)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds desperately needs a quality defensive midfielder like him. He protects the back four and adds control and creativity to the sides. He can establish himself as an essential asset to Daniel Fark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When the World Cup is held next year, the middle part will be regularly desperate. Sitting on the bench of an Italian club is unlikely to benefit him. He plays regularly for Leeds and is looking to establish himself as a key player in the national team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds has secured promotion to the Premier League and is aiming to remain on top flights beyond next season. For that to happen, you need a quality player.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds United manager Daniel Fark accepts Leeds United president Parag Malasse.
