OPINION

Leeds United have only made one signing for far this summer but manager Marcelo Bielsa must look to really kick off the transfer activity by signing exciting Celtic attacker Ryan Christie.

The 23-year-old was in stunning form while on loan at Aberdeen last season and given the fact that Brendan Rodgers has loaned him to the Dons two years in a row, it is likely that he could be available again this summer.

Christie scored eight goals and supplied 15 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions for Aberdeen in 2017/18 and given the shortage of quality attackers at Elland Road, Bielsa should look to snap him up as soon as he can.

The three-times Scotland international can not only play in a central attacking midfield role, but he can also play out on the wing which is an area that has been a serious concern to Leeds fans in the last year.

Christie arrived at Celtic Park with a lot of promise in 2015 but he is yet to really get the chance to show fans north of the border what he can do in the green and white hoops.

But if he is handed a first team role by Bielsa next term, the Argentine will certainly turn the ex-Inverness attacker into a household name and could easily having him gunning for the Championship best player of the season award.
