Leeds: Whites interested in Alfonso Pedraza
Leeds United are thought to be ‘interested’ in signing Villarreal left-back Alfonso Pedraza.
The Lowdown: Wober links
The Whites appear to be on the hunt for a new left-back in the New Year and seem to have an eye on RB Salzburg’s Maximilian Wober.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Leeds are preparing an offer for the 24-year-old, who can play as a centre-back or as a left-back. It seems as if Wober isn’t the only defensive target, though, with links emerging to a former Elland Road loanee.
The Latest: Pedraza news
According to Football Espana on Twitter, both Leeds and Inter Milan are ‘interested’ in signing Pedraza in January.
They add that the Spaniard has been a ‘standout’ for the La Liga side over the last 18 months.
The Verdict: One to watch?
Pedraza, who played alongside Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas during his loan spell in the 2016/17 season, can also operate as a left-midfielder or left-winger and has scored 23 senior goals at club level.

Therefore, you could make an argument that both Pedraza and Wober could be of use to Jesse Marsch. They would both be able to challenge Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo at left-back, while also providing cover in other areas, so a move for Pedraza, described as a “machine” by Simon Harrison, could be one to watch.
