5 reasons why Leeds United will win promotion this year

#2 Recruitment

New recruit Lasogga in action against Millwall

The signing of Samu Saiz might take the headlines but beyond that, there has been some very intelligent recruitment by Leeds.

The blows of losing the likes of Chris Wood have been softened by some smart reactions, as the club have moved to replace them without putting their financial security in jeopardy again. Wood went to Burnley for instance but was carefully replaced by Pierre-Michel Lasogga who arrived on loan from Hamburg and he duly bagged two goals on his debut.

It doesn't stop there.

Macedonian Gjanni Alioski is another who is becoming a fan favorite for his all-action displays. He was recruited from Lugano in Switzerland and has hit the ground running.

There is just a lot more thought behind the signings this time around and there is a depth in the squad that could well take them up to the Premier League this time that there has not been before. January will soon come around too and if required the funds are there for the club to invest in further talent.

Such has been the tremendous level of activity in the summer however, they may not even need to sign more.
