da pixbet: Leeds United kept pace with the Championship league leaders following a 2-0 win over 10-men Bristol City at the weekend.
da betcris: It took until the second-half for the deadlock to be broken, but the Whites eventually took the lead through Kemar Roofe after Josh Brownhill was dismissed for two bookable offences. Pablo Hernandez doubled their advantage with four minutes on the clock and Bristol were unable to mount a comeback. The result leaves Leeds in third place, just three points behind league leaders Norwich after 18 games.
The January transfer window is less than two months away, and Marcelo Bielsa will have another opportunity to strengthen his squad before the hectic season run-in. Reports in the Sun suggest the Argentine will look to bolster his attacking options in the New Year and could look to reunite with Tottenham striker – Fernando Llorente.
Instead, Leeds should make an audacious bid for West Ham United outcast – Andy Carroll. Valued at £9m by Transfermarkt, the former England international burst on the scene for Newcastle United which earned him a record-breaking £35m move to Liverpool. His struggles on Merseyside meant he was eventually sold to the Hammers, but injuries have hampered his progress at the London Stadium.
With less than one year remaining on his current deal, Manuel Pellegrini could allow the striker to leave the club. Carroll has experience in the Championship after netting 17 league goals for the Magpies back in 2010 and would give Bielsa another quality option in the attack. The target man is always a nightmare for defenders to deal with and will be desperate to get first-team football under his belt after spending months on the treatment table.
If the 29-year-old can be convinced to drop his wage demands, he could prove to be an excellent addition to the Leeds squad.
