There is no secret being made of Leeds United’s desire to bring another midfielder to the club. The arrival of a player who can compete for a place in the engine room of Jesse Marsch’s side is very much a priority given the injuries sustained by each of the Whites’ recognised centre midfielders during the recently-finished season.
According to The Athletic, Marc Roca is the man being targeted to bring much-needed depth to the midfield ranks. The report stated that Bayern Munich will be willing to sell the 25-year-old for a fee in the region of £10m with West Ham also interested.
Leeds supporters looking to find out what kind of player Roca is will realise that he is very much a product of the Spanish, or even more specifically, Catalonian, school of defensive midfielders. Based on his time with Espanyol, he is extremely comfortable on the ball, keen to dictate matches as well as being great to watch.
