Leeds United completed the transfer of Spanish striker Rodrigo Moreno Machado on their return to the Premier League in August 2020. At £27 million their most expensive signing since Rio Ferdinand nearly 20 years previously.

Rodrigo previously spent six years at the Mestalla, scoring 59 goals in 220 appearances, making 41 assists. Last seasons tally saw him chalk up 7 goals and 11 assists in 34 appearances including a few goals and assists in the Champions League. He even scored the winner against Frank Lampard's Chelsea back in the group stages. Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague describes him as a modern forward who can play up front or wide right, create and work large spaces, is quick, has a good work rate and presses hard. Clearly not a goal hanging number 9 but a highly rated player who sounds perfect for a Marcelo Bielsa side. He has also been Spain boss Luis Enrique's go to man in the Euro Qualifiers, scoring 4 goals. In total he has 8 goals in 22 appearances for Spain.

The securing of the signature Rodrigo was a big statement of intent from Andrea Radrizzani. One Valancia fan on Twitter commented; "A sale that hurts the soul", a good sign we are getting an excellent player.

I think you should be alright with that, I am surprised you didn't go for DOF. We should be known as Leeds Arbitary, as anyone can have a go. Get your mates, pe teachers, secondhand car salesmen, cokeheads, skint Arabs, and a graveyard for failed managers.
