Leeds United Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Ligue 1 Talent: What Will He Bring To Elland Road? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Leeds United are keeping a keen eye on Olympique Lyonnais talent Pavel Sulc. It has been mentioned that the Whites would have to compete with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in the race to land the Czech playmaker next summer.

Sulc is having an impressive campaign at the French club and deserves credit for putting in a string of productive displays for them in the final third. The 25-year-old has scored 14 times and earned ten assists in 34 matches for Lyon this season across various competitions.

The Czech sensation is currently among the best playmakers in Ligue 1. Therefore, Leeds would do well to bring Sulc to Elland Road this summer.

His current contract at the West Yorkshire club will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for the Whites to sign him on the cheap later this year.

What Will Sulc Bring To Leeds United?

Sulc is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the eye to play some killer passes on the offensive end of the field. He can strike the ball with venom from long range and has added a lot of goals and assists to his game this season.

Sulc is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also serve as a box-to-box midfielder or as a striker if needed. However, there are some concerns over whether the Czech sensation can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Whites manage to snap him up next year.

We can expect Sulc to bring more quality and depth to Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke’s attacking department. He has what it takes to nail down a regular starting spot at Elland Road in the coming years.

At 25, Sulc has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Whites to pursue at the end of this campaign. However, Farke has to give him some time to adjust to life in England before he can get the best out of the player at the Yorkshire club.
