# Leeds: Whites eyeing Jesus Vazquez loan

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are reportedly keen on signing Valencia defender Jesus Vazquez on loan.**

### The Lowdown: Vazquez linked with Leeds

The 19-year-old has progressed through Valencia’s academy and has made [22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vazquez/leistungsdaten/spieler/623024) senior appearances for his current employers. Vazquez is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vazquez/profil/spieler/623024) a left-back but can also line out as a left midfielder or a left winger if required.

Valued at €5m (£4.3m) by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vazquez/profil/spieler/623024), Vazquez’s current Valencia contract runs until [2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vazquez/profil/spieler/623024), but it seems as if a potential temporary exit could be on the cards in the New Year.

### The Latest: Loan rumour

[The Boot Room](https://tbrfootball.com/report-leeds-now-keen-on-january-loan-move-for-35m-defender-hes-already-blown-away-arsenals-scouts/) relayed an update from a [Spanish outlet](https://www.eldesmarque.com/valencia/valencia-cf/379757-jesus-vazquez-se-harta-de-rumores-busca-una-solucion-no-una-salida) regarding Leeds and Vazquez on Wednesday.

They claimed that the Whites want to bring the Spaniard – who has a €40m (£34.5m) release clause – to Elland Road on loan, adding that Vazquez has changed agents in anticipation of a potential move.

### The Verdict: Interesting…

Jesse Marsch has used centre-back [Pascal Struijk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pascal-struijk/leistungsdaten/spieler/410708) at left-back this season, with Junior Firpo missing the majority of the season through [injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/junior-firpo/leistungsdaten/spieler/374139).

Therefore, you can see why the Whites are looking at a possible left-back recruit, which could then allow Struijk to return to his more natural role.

However, Vazquez isn’t exactly an established first-team player, so it would be a surprise if he is seen as the solution at left-back.

Borussia Dortmund’s [Raphael Guerreiro](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-preparing-raphael-guerreiro-contract-offer/) is another left-back who has been linked with a move to Yorkshire, so the Portugal international appears to be a better immediate option for Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani to consider at this moment in time.
