Plenty were linked with Leeds during the window to fill the void in the no.10 role. The likes of Gustavo Hamer, Roland Sallai. Leeds-linked Emi Buendia scored his first goal in 18 months this week for Villa.
But Leeds will now have to rely on Aaronson to provide that creative spark at least until January, while Piroe and Wilfried Gnonto have been used as the no.10 in Daniel Farke’s4-2-3-1 system this season.
Another player Leeds tried to sign is currently at Manchester City and now, Pep Guardiola has explained why he blocked a potential loan or permanent exit of the player in question during the summer window.
peaking after the close of the transfer window, Angus Kinnear confirmed Leeds were interested in James McAtee. Earlier on in the window, Leeds were touted with a move for McAtee at a whopping fee of £20m.
Guardiola handed McAtee his first start of the season on Tuesday night as City edged past Watford in the Carabao Cup. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News after, he explained his decision to keep McAtee.
“It is difficult to find players with a sense of goal in small spaces who attack the final third and McAtee has that quality. That’s why I said to Txiki [Begiristain] I don’t want to loan him and I don’t want to sell him.
