Leeds United-linked midfielder Marc Roca may not have made much game time at Bayern Munich but that has not stopped manager Julien Naglesmann from praising him. The Whites have reportedly earmarked Roca as a priority midfield signing as they look to complete their third incoming of the window.
Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen have already arrived from Red Bull Salzburg and Roca is thought to be next on the list as Leeds look to get to work on their squad early. The 25-year-old has made just 24 appearances during his two-year spell at the Allianz Arena, including only six Bundesliga starts.
But Roca has been fighting for a place against two of the best midfielders in world football, with Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka currently Bayern’s first choice pairing. But that did not stop Bayern boss Naglesmann from heaping the praise on Roca in one of his few league starts for the club.
