Leeds United hero Paul Robinson reckons Odsonne Edouard is the perfect Marcelo Bielsa player.
Edouard has been linked with a move to Elland Road and former England 'keeper Robinson says his old club should be taking a close look at the Frenchman.
Leeds have just secured promotion to the English top flight and Robinson feels they need a new striker to take them to the next level.
He said: “I really like the boy Edouard at Celtic, I think he’d be an absolutely perfect fit for the way Bielsa plays.
“Or if Fulham don’t go up someone like Mitrović, someone of that ilk who is used to playing up top on their own who works hard off the ball but can also score goals.
“The chances will come. When you look back over the course of the last two seasons, Leeds have created so many chances but have dropped a lot points because they haven’t always been able to convert the chances into goals.
“If they had had someone who could take the chances they would have been promoted last season.”

Robinson told bookmakers.co.uk that current striker Partick Bamford isn't clinical enough in front of goal right now, and somebody of Edouard's ilk is a must.
He added: "The chances that he’s missed this season – emphasised by the opportunities he squandered at Swansea and Barnsley recently – tells me he’s just not clinical enough, so it’s an area they’re going to have to strengthen in.
“Bielsa really likes him though and always plays him when he’s fit because of his work-rate and everything else he does off the ball for the team. That’s all well and good but his conversion rate just isn’t good enough.

“For a team to be promoted as champions with a top goalscorer with 16 goals is unusual. Most top six teams in the Championship have a 20+ goals a season striker. Bamford isn’t prolific enough. The way Leeds play, with a single central striker, it’s an area they’re going to have to strengthen, no doubt.”
Edouard is currently with Celtic on pre-season duty in France. Neil Lennon's side take on PSG this evening.
