Leeds United reportedly are keen to sign Krasnodar attack midfielder Eduard Spertsyan.
According to Football insiderLeeds is close to Armenian International, who scored six goals in all games this season and provided three assists in all games.
They need to add more creativity and depth in the offensive department, and midfielders should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. The midfielder has had connections with Newcastle and Manchester City in the past.
The 24-year-old showed his qualities in Russia, and it remains to be seen whether he can adapt to British football if the move is passed. Leeds will push for promotion to the Premier League, and they hope to return to the top flight by the end of the season.
The chance to join them can be exciting for the 24-year-old who will hope to test himself at the highest level. The chance to play in England is hard to refuse.
Robinson is not sure about Sesterson’s actions
Former Leeds star Paul Robinson has now revealed that he has watched the player’s clips and that the midfielder is useful enough to operate on the side and in the middle. He also added that Spetterson is a talented player, but Leeds would be risky to sign him.
He said: “He is a talented player and there are a lot of clubs looking at him and when you look at his clips, you see the way he plays, he is a very creative, smart player.
“But for me, it’s a risk signature.
“Going to the Premier League, Daniel Farke is still in charge, will they play the same system? Will they attack? Are they licensed to play so many forward-looking players?
“He will fit the system.
“Can he handle the Premier League? Can he handle the championship?
“I’m not sure, but there’s a certain amount of talent around the players because a lot of people are watching him.”
The former England international goalkeeper is unsure whether Leeds can maintain its offensive football in the Premier League. If they change the system, they may not be able to get the best effect from forward-looking players. Besides that, he is also worried about whether Spertsyan will be able to deal with it in the Premier League or the championship.
