Two centre-backs Leeds United should sign

Leeds United had some poor defensive issues last campaign and with only three central defenders at the club and no new ones signed, it’s hard to see anything changing next season. Here are three centre backs that Leeds United could certainly do with trying to sign this transfer window…

Axel Tuanzebe

Manchester United’s Axel Tuanzebe is an incredibly talented young defender who would walk straight into Leeds United’s back line with ease and link up with Pontus Jansson perfectly. The 20-year-old spent the second half of the last campaign on loan at Aston Villa where he made just five appearances but ever so nearly won promotion back to the big time. Unfortunately, his time at Villa wasn’t successful. But when you’re battling to get in ahead of two inform centre-backs like James Chester and John Terry, it was never going to be plain sailing.

Despite not getting a permanent starting place within the Villa side there’s no doubt this young man has bags of talent and would be the perfect addition to Leeds United’s defence. Tuanzebe and Pontus Jansson would be a formidable defensive partnership next season and one many clubs would dream of having and would certainly be a big boost to their promotion chances.

Samuel Yohou

Yohou started his career at the Paris based club but after a few seasons there he left for French third-tier side, AS Béziers on a free transfer. He impressed so much in his first season at AS Béziers that Paris FC re-signed him after just one season away from the club. In that season he played in 24 out of a possible 34 games and scored four goals from centre-back.

The 26-year-old, 6ft 3″ giant was linked with Aston Villa earlier in the transfer window following the departure of John Terry but nothing ever developed. This player would be available on a free transfer too, so it would be a risk free transfer. There’s no doubt this man has bags of talent but is yet to be given his chance on a big stage. Elland Road would be the perfect place for this man to show off what he has to offer, should Leeds sign him.
