Pitches made by Victor Orta to Leeds United’s new signings consistently come up in the interviews they give after their Elland Road arrivals. The director of football has pulled the strings on Whites recruitment for five years and had an especially busy start to this summer.
Six new faces were added to Jesse Marsch’s squad before it flew out to Australia in mid-July and he has since brought in Sonny Perkins and Joel Robles too. While there remains a clamour for the left-back and striker the club have openly stated their interest in, there is satisfaction too with the work done in softening the blows of key exits this summer.
It remains to be seen whether Orta does move on those two remaining gaps in the squad, but Marsch has opened up on his excitement before those famous pitches the Spaniard makes. The American has been consulted on all of the deals made during this window and he’s been highly impressed with the unique angle Orta finds with each and every prospect.
