Former transfer target named in top five prospects in Europe
Leeds United worked hard on a deal for Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol in the summer before they played their first Premier League season in sixteen years. They were ultimately unsuccessful as the player chose to move to RB Leipzig in a deal which saw him loaned back to Dinamo Zagreb for the season.
Gvardiol made his debut in a top European league at the beginning of this season, playing under now Leeds manager, Jesse Marsch at Leipzig. Since then he has gone from strength to strength and his reputation has grown to the point that CIES Football Observatory have named him as one of the top five players in Europe under the age of 21 and the highest ranking defender.
