Leeds United signed Zhaka Bijold this summer, paving the way for Pascal Struik to set off in the coming weeks.
BBC journalist Adam Pope claims Bjor is perfectly suited to Leeds, and they now likely will make way for him by removing Struick. He has struggled with persistent injuries over the past two seasons, which may be the right time for Leeds to win cash for players.
He’s definitely a quality player, but he couldn’t be trusted in terms of availability. Leeds needs to try to sell him while he still holds some value. He has linked to Premier League clubs in the past.
Will Pascal struijk leave?
BBC journalist Adam Pope said: “I think he’s perfect for the physicality he believes the club needs to stay in the Premier League, and I think he’ll add to the backline already enough.
“(Pascal) Struijk has now been injured for two consecutive seasons. The club may have to let the player go to help with the financial parameters around him, but now he is definitely an added bonus. He is also experienced.
“He’s 26 years old so they signed him on his prime. He made over 50 appearances for Slovenia, where he debuted as a teenager. He played in Germany, Russia and Italy, so it’s a pretty good pedigree.”
Jaka Bijol will try to make his mark
Meanwhile, Bijol hits the ground running with the Leeds and in the Premier League, trying to establish himself as a key player. He is at the peak of his power, and this is a great opportunity for him to show off his abilities at the highest level.
Leeds has exciting projects and talented teams. They are looking to establish themselves as regulars in the Premier League next season. They wouldn’t want to return to the championship next summer. Signatures like Bijol will definitely help improve next year.
