Radrizzani's prediction about Bielsa at Leeds United comes true as White transfer is discussed

Here is your Leeds United morning digest for Tuesday, June 16.

Andrea Radrizzani has been proven right about Marcelo Bielsa

Marcelo Bielsa is on the brink of taking Leeds United back to the promised land of the Premier League.

On the two-year anniversary of Bielsa's arrival at Elland Road, it's safe to say he's created a new culture at the club.

And it is just what chairman Andrea Radrizzani had predicted in June 2018 at Bielsa's unveiling.

"Marcelo has a wealth of experience and he will use that to create a new culture and a winning mentality at our football club," he said.

"I would like to thank Victor Orta and Angus Kinnear for all of the hard work that has gone into this appointment and I look forward to progressing together."

Dawson fires warning to Leeds and West Brom

Michael Dawson has stated that Nottingham Forest are "hunting West Brom and Leeds down" in the promotion race.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are seven points ahead of Fulham in third, with West Brom just a single point behind the West Yorkshire club.

But Dawson has claimed that Forest, who are fifth and 11 points behind Leeds, haven't given up on winning an automatic promotion place just yet.

He told talkSPORT: “Leeds and West Brom were in a good vein of form before everything happened and it’s going to be one of those now, what will happen, who knows?

“It’s going to be an exciting time and one we are thriving on. We’ve put ourselves in a good position and we’re hunting West Brom and Leeds down."

White transfer discussed

Kevin Phillips has claimed it would be a “massive coup” if Leeds United keep hold of Brighton’s Ben White this summer.

White has spent the season on loan with Leeds and Brighton boss Graham Potter confirmed that the defender will remain at Elland Road until the completion of the 2019/20 campaign.

But amid links with the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool, Kevin Phillips has stated that the Reds could help out Leeds if they sign the centre-back.

Phillips believes that White could sign for a top-six side and then go back to Leeds on another season-long loan.
