Bielsa out to get Tag on books
LEEDS are working on an ambitious move for Ajax defender Nicolas Tagliafico.
Boss Marcelo Bielsa wants a new left-back as a top priority this summer and he sees fellowArgentinian Tagliafico as an ideal signing.
Ezgjan Alioski and Stuart Dallas have shared the role for Leeds this season after Bielsa failed to bring in a left-back last summer.
Alioski’s contract expires at the end of this season and he could well leave Elland Road but, either way, his manager wants to bring someone in and Tagliafico fits the bill.
The 28-year-old has a reputation as one of the toughest defenders in Dutch football and he has amassed 41 yellow cards and two reds in little more than three years for club and country.
Tagliafico said: “I am the kind of player who can show his skills.
“But I am also the kind of man who has learnt other strategies which I need to use when it is not possible to win with skills.”
