Report: Leeds United interested in signing Nemanja Radoja

By Jay Williams

Leeds United are among the clubs keen on signing Nemanja Radoja. According to TEAMtalk, Radoja is wanted by a trio of English clubs, including Leeds.

Radoja is available on a free transfer after leaving Celta Vigo this summer. The 26-year-old operates as a holding midfielder and he is likely to move to England now.

Leeds will battle two Premier League sides for Radoja. Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham could tempt the Serbian midfielder to the top-flight despite the transfer window passing.

Radoja has been with Celta Vigo for the past five years, racking up more than 100 appearances in total. But last season, he did not play a single game for the Spanish club.

Marcelo Bielsa will be aware of Radoja with his expert knowledge of the Spanish league system. He is a tough-tackling holding midfield player who could boost the Leeds squad for a promotion push.

TBR’s view

Radoja would face a challenge replacing Kalvin Phillips in the starting line-up for Leeds. But he would provide much-needed cover in midfield, allowing Bielsa to rotate his options.

When he has been at full tilt, Radoja has impressed in La Liga – one of the world’s best divisions. He could be a hit at Elland Road if he is over his injury troubles.
