Leeds United will need to be at their best from here on in if they are to achieve their aim of promotion, after failing to secure all three points against Middlesbrough earlier on today.
The Whites haven’t been able to ensure consistency in recent times, which has had a negative impact on their push for promotion to the Premier League, with Norwich set to feature tomorrow.
It appears as if Marcelo Bielsa has his eye on securing a possible swoop, as according to the Daily Record, Leeds United sent representatives to watch Motherwell’s Jake Hastie on Wednesday night.
Of course, signing a youngster has its benefits and its drawbacks, so here are the potential consequences of signing Jake Hastie in the summer transfer window…
BIELSA SECURES NEXT JACK CLARKE
Jack Clarke has been one of the shining lights in the current campaign for Leeds United, but his rise to stardom caught the eye of a number of Premier League clubs last month, so he could be set for a summer exit.
Jake Hastie also operates as a winger and he’s been extremely impressive this season at current club Motherwell, having produced three goals and one assist in four Scottish Premiership games.
Indeed, both players are very similar with the ability to score goals and produce, while they both look to make use of their pace, dribbling and skill in the final third, so the Scotsman could well be Leeds’ next Jack Clarke if he leaves.
FUTURE STAR ARRIVES
Jake Hastie is only 19 years of age, so he still has the whole of his career ahead of him, which makes his performances this season even more impressive as he’s established himself as a rising star.
It’s safe to say that the winger has all the ingredients to become a future star of the game at Elland Road, with his pace, skill, finishing and dribbling ability definitely set to excite fans if he moves.
Indeed, he’s already able handle the pressure of Scottish Premiership football, which just goes to show how much he’s already developed as a player, so he’s well on his way to enjoying a very successful career.
