da betobet： As reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United have opened talks to sign Kyle Bartley from Swansea City in this summer’s transfer window.
What’s the story?
da fazobetai： With their season petering out from play-off hopes to mid-table grumbles, Leeds fans are hoping they can rebuild this summer and have a go at pushing the teams at the top end of the table next term.
One potential signing that would be sure to please them is Kyle Bartley, who had a successful spell on loan at the club last term.
The Yorkshire Evening Post say that Leeds are now looking to sign him on a permanent basis, with Swansea ready to entertain offers for the defender and Leeds already in talks to secure his signature.
The 26-year-old is rated at £3.15m by Transfermarkt and is said by the Evening Post to be open to a return to Elland Road.
Would he be a good signing?
Leeds United have conceded 64 goals in the English Championship this season, more than all 13 of the teams above them in the table currently. It’s fair to say then that the Elland Road side need defensive improvement.
Bartley was a stand-out at centre-back in 2016/17, making 45 appearances in the second-tier for Leeds, helping keep 15 clean sheets and even scoring six goals in the process.
He’d be an excellent option next season and could help them in their bid to reach the play-offs massively so this is a deal definitely worth pursuing further.
