Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca has admitted that although he is currently happy in the Premier League, he has not 'ruled out' a return to La Liga in the future following the arrival of Weston McKennie in the January transfer window.
Roca has featured in every single Premier League game for Jesse Marsch this season, starting 18 of Leeds' 19 top-flight fixtures. The Spaniard has cemented his place in the club's first-team, but McKennie's arrival has sparked debate that the American will replace the former Bayern Munich man in the Whites' starting XI.
McKennie has played alongside Tyler Adams for the USMNT and Marsch could be tempted to reunite the pair against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. Leeds are without a win in the English top-flight since November and Leeds' head coach may shake things up in order to kick-start the second half of the season.

Regardless of Marsch's pending decision, Roca has revealed that he is very happy at the club and that although he is still considering a return to Spain, he does not see himself leaving anytime soon.
“I had the option of Leeds [in the summer], which suited me perfectly, but I obviously don’t rule out going back to Spain in future,” Roca said (via Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo).
“I like the Spanish league, it is our country and where we felt most comfortable. But I am very much enjoying my time in England a lot.
“I think the level in the Premier League is growing and the competition is at the highest level to keep growing. As a professional right now, I am very happy.”
