Leeds United’s final January addition saw them bring in Diogo Monteiro from Swiss side Servette. The 18-year-old defender will go into Michael Skubala’s Under-21s set-up, with hopes high that he will replicate the impact of Wilfried Gnonto who joined from fellow Swiss Super League outfit FC Zurich.
Monteiro’s arrival was the fourth of a window that also saw Leeds acquire the services of Weston McKennie, Max Wober and Georginio Rutter. And in a welcome seal of approval for manager Jesse Marsch, it was a signing that had the backing of the Leeds faithful - just.
Asked to give their views on six potential January arrivals via LeedsLive’s Swerve or Swoop tool, 53% of respondents voted to swoop for Monteiro.
