The Leeds fans in the Transfer Tavern have been going into meltdown after hearing this amazing transfer update from Simon O’Rourke. The club could, apparently, be set to sign both Phil Foden and Juan Foyth on-loan from Man City and Tottenham as both Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino trust Marcelo Bielsa to handle their young stars.

If Leeds did manage to get the Premier League pair they would be nailed on favourites for the Championship this season, and could probably go far in the domestic cups if they put their mind’s to it too. The club’s coup of Bielsa is huge for them, as it allows them to bring in some much bigger names both on-loan and on permanent deals as players are keen to improve themselves under the tutelage of the Argentine.
Even if the club only managed to come out of this window with one of either Foden or Foyth, they would be in a superb position to make a return to the Premier League. Juan Foyth would partner up with Pontus Jansson at the heart of The Whites defence with ease, whilst Phil Foden would have no issues in slotting in alongside Pablo Hernandez to get the fans at Elland Road off their feet.

The Leeds fans in the Tavern will be overjoyed if they could get these two deals over the line, with Premier League football just one successful season away.
