Soon after Manchester City's deal for Kalvin Phillips was announced on Monday morning, Leeds fans were distracted from the disappointment of losing their homegrown star, as news broke that the Whites were close to agreeing a deal with Feyenoord for their Colombian winger, Luis Sinisterra.
And on Thursday lunchtime, while the rest of the country was watching Boris Johnson throw in the towel, Leeds confirmed that they had got their man, who looks to be Raphinha's eventual replacement.
However, it is notable that whilst he is also a winger, he plays on the opposite side to Raphinha. Sinisterra is a right-footed left winger, and whilst he does like to play in space out wide, when he has the ball at his feet, he drives at the box, looking to create shooting opportunities. This was very effective for him in 21/22, as he scored 23 goals and assisted 14 in all competitions.
