Leeds United exploring deal to sign attacking midfielder
Wolves center Jorgen Strand-Larsen is a goal For white people. They were willing to spend £40m to sign him, but Crystal Palace beat them to it, paying £48m for the Norway international.

Why Leeds United should sign Eduard Spezyan
The Whites should try to get the deal done before the deadline later today as he has the potential to be an excellent addition to the squad in the second half of the season.
Spetzjan’s form for Krasnodar suggests he could arrive at Elland Road tonight, providing a significant upgrade over Brenden Aaronson in the middle of the park. Daniel WakeTo his credit, Aaronson has exceeded expectations in 23 Premier League appearances so far this season, contributing four goals and three assists, but the Whites can still improve in his position.

As you can see in the table above, the Armenian playmaker has contributed 20 goals in 18 league appearances so far this season, which is a stunning return. While it would be foolish to expect him to translate this form directly to the Premier League, as he would be the new Kevin De Bruyne of the division if that were the case, Spertsyan could be a significant upgrade over Aaronson if he could bring even a fraction of that quality.
The Leeds United midfielder has averaged just 1.0 key passes per game in the Premier League this season, which is less than a third of the number of key passes Spetzyan averages in Russia’s top flight. Therefore, Leeds could bring in the Armenia international before the deadline to improve creativity and quality in the midfield, although this would be a risky move considering he is yet to prove himself in the Premier League.
