Potential new Leeds United signing Marc Roca will be looking to follow in the footsteps of ‘idol’ Xabi Alonso if his move to Elland Road goes through. Roca is reportedly closing in on a move to the Whites from Bayern Munich, with the 25-year-old set to put pen to paper on a four-year deal.
Leeds have been busy during the early stages of the summer transfer window, with Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen having already joined. Roca now looks set to be the third man through the door with various reports now stating a deal could be concluded as early as this week.
Roca’s career path has already been similar to that of his hero Alonso, with both moving from La Liga to Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich. While he has not enjoyed the same success Alonso had at the Allianz Arena, if he can be half the player the former Liverpool star was in the Premier League, he will be a top signing for Leeds.
