Phil Hay delivers verdict on Leeds potentially moving for Daniel Sturridge

There’s a lot of work to be done if Leeds secure promotion to the Premier League next season.

Moving to the Premier League will give them the pulling power to attract good players. They are bound to need major investment in the squad, along with getting an improved deal for Marcelo Bielsa.

Signing a quality striker would still remain Bielsa’s top priority in the summer. Patrick Bamford has struggled to find the net regularly, and there’s little evidence to believe that he’ll be a major hit in the Premier League.

Likewise, Jean-Kevin Augustin has hardly played for the Whites, although Bielsa is a big fan of him, and Leeds have an obligation to sign him as well if they go up, there are other obstructions.
