The Leeds fans in the Transfer Tavern are getting their hopes up as the club get nearer to the signing of Derby County’s Matej Vydra. The Czech striker scored an impressive 21 goals and chipped in with four assists in 40 Championship appearances and he could be Elland Road bound.
Leeds fans have been lucky enough to see Marcelo Bielsa announced as their new manager and they’ve been pretty excited about it. However, the good news doesn’t look like ending there though and they could be set to prise Vydra from under Frank Lampard’s nose at Pride Park, which would be a big coup for the Whites as they aim for promotion in Bielsa’s first season at the Yorkshire club.
Bielsa will be looking to sign some stars this summer and Vydra is just one of a number of players being linked with a switch to the club. Abel Hernandez’s contract at Hull City has expired and he could now be set to sign under Bielsa. Meanwhile, Swansea City’s Kyle Bartley could be returning to the club on a permanent basis after spending the 2016/17 season on-loan at the club.
You can see what our excited Whites think of Vydra here:
Leeds would have a very good attacking line next season if we bought both Vydra & Grabban in#lufc #mot

Mad that Vydra is but then again hes their only real asset in Lampard is to bring his own in will need at least the Vyrdra money. Grabban always was gunna be on his way back to this level
