Leeds United were right to swerve PL forward with two goals this season – Sky Sports pundit

Leeds’ drop into the Championship was followed by a number of transfer reality

checks where key targets opted to move to Premier League clubs, proving a difficult issue for Leeds to work around.

Sheffield United poached a handful of signings that Leeds were linked with in

the summer, and one that has been constantly touted for a Leeds move, Ben

Brereton Diaz, headed to Bramall Lane in January.

Ben Brereton Diaz form hits setback after bright early start for Blades

Brereton Diaz returned to England after an underwhelming start to life in La Liga

with Villarreal, and started brightly with the Blades.

His first two league appearances for the club yielded a goal apiece against West Ham and Crystal Palace, smart

However, his third outing was one to forget with Aston Villa battering the Blades 5-0 while he was then ruled out

for three games due to a hamstring issue – missing the victory at Luton Town, before defeats to Brighton and Wolves.

Paul Robinson believes Leeds did well to avoid Brereton Diaz

Former Leeds United goalkeeper and Sky Sports pundit Paul Robinson believes

that Leeds were right not to have pursued Brereton Diaz.

If Brereton Diaz isn’t scoring, there’s little that he’d actually be doing, and that

would make him a waste of time for Leeds.

He’s best on the left wing, which is a position that we’re completely set in

right now with Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto good enough for the Premier League.

Hopefully we stop seeing Brereton Diaz’s name crop up in transfer speculation, as it doesn’t make sense for us.

He’s a good signing for the Blades, who needed a goalscorer, but that means nothing to us.l
