Super agent Kia Joorabchian makes huge Edinson Cavani to Leeds United transfer claim

Leading football agent Kia Joorabchian believes Leeds United fans have a lot to look forward to under the stewardship of Andrea Radrizzani and Marcelo Bielsa.

The Whites will of course be playing Premier League football once again next season, having won the Championship title this season.

Marcelo Bielsa will now be looking to get his side prepared for their long-awaited return to the top flight, and no doubt there will be some new faces arriving over the coming weeks.

Just last week, Radrizzani refused to rule out the possibility of signing Edinson Cavani, who is a free agent following his release at Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

"In addition to his quality, Cavani could contribute with his physicality and adapt here, but I've never talked about him with the coach," he told Sky Sports.

"Having said that, we've certainly thought about him and we'll see, given he's still available on a free transfer."

And Joorabchian believes Radrizzani has the sort of contacts that could see the 33-year-old move to Elland Road this summer.

“The Leeds owner has very good links in Italy and with a couple of the guys that work closely with Cavani, “ he told talkSPORT.

“If anyone was to pull something like that off, they could.

“Bielsa is so highly regarded, he was one of the teachers of Tevez. For many, many years I followed him and Leeds fans have a lot to look forward to with those guys at the helm. They’re football people.”
