In Marc Roca, Leeds United have made their third major recruit in the space of just three weeks. Brenden Aaronson was the first to sign on the dotted line, making the move just days after Premier League survival was secured in dramatic fashion at the Brentford Community Stadium.
It was a deal that was lined up before the end of the season and Leeds’ survival ensured the final touches to the deal could be made. The addition of the attacking midfielder certainly sent out the right signals, as did the deal for Aaronson’s former Red Bull Salzburg teammate Rasmus Kristensen.
The Denmark international agreed a long-term deal just last week to bolster the Whites’ defensive numbers and reportedly Leeds snatched him from under the noses of German giants Borussia Dortmund. Again, it was a sign of intent as the club moved swiftly to address a gap that needed filling.
