Leeds had a near-perfect transfer window this summer, but who is Marcelo Bielsa’s signing of the summer?

While much of the focus was on shifting players out of the club, there was plenty of business to be done at Elland Road this summer.
Bielsa’s arrival signalled a new era for the club, and the charismatic boss took his time to get his targets.
Another centre back will surely be on the agenda in January, but most fans would agree it was a pretty successful window.
After months of striker rumours, Patrick Bamford joined the Bielsa revolution from Middlesbrough, although the form of Kemar Roofe has kept the 24 year-old out of the side.
There was plenty of shopping to be done at Chelsea, as goalkeeper Jamal Blackman, and midfielders Lewis Baker and Izzy Brown all made loan switches to Yorkshire.
Jack Harrison looked promising during the 0-0 draw against Boro last week, and the youngster will provide competition for the likes of Ezgjan Alioski and Samuel Saiz.

Barry Douglas might just be the best of the lot though, as the 5ft 10in full-back’s arrival has brought a whole new threat from set pieces, while also allowing Gaetano Berardi to thrive as a central defender.
