Leeds United face Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend looking to get one over their former manager Garry Monk. 

The Owls, however, come into the game full of confidence. They are now third in the Championship, one point behind second-placed Leeds, after a 1-0 win over Stoke City at the weekend. 

One of the key reasons for their success has been the form of Australian midfielder Massimo Luongo. He scored the winner yesterday and, despite picking up an ankle knock, should be fit to play Leeds at the weekend, as reported by the Yorkshire Post. 

If he does, it could be a case of here’s a look at what you could have won for Leeds United. 

With one year left on his deal and no desire to sign a new one, Luongo was allowed to leave QPR this summer. One team reportedly keen to capitalise was Leeds United.

As reported by London Football News, Leeds were keen on signing the player who would undoubtedly have fitted into Marcelo Bielsa’s style of play. 

In the end, he headed to Hillsborough, with Monk’s side paying a reported (Sheffield Star) £1 million for the privilege. 

After forcing his way into the starting XI he now has two goals in his last three games and is looking like a key figure in Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion hopes. 

Leeds United will just hope they do not go on to rue not taking a chance on this summer bargain buy.
