Leeds United could have a new number eight after a photo including Marc Roca was posted with the Spaniard sporting the number on his training kit. Leeds have not had a player use the number eight since Vurnon Anita did in the 2017/18 season.
Roca arrived from Bayern Munich following a two-year spell with the Bundesliga champions. The 25-year-old midfielder was rated highly by the Bavarian giants despite his lack of game time with the club last season and was a regular for La Liga side Espanyol before that, making over 120 appearances for the club.
It was an Instagram post from Junior Firpo that showed Roca wearing the number. The picture also featured Jack Harrison and Rodrigo as well as Firpo, who were all wearing their current squad numbers, which makes it highly likely that Roca will take the number eight next season.
