Will Bijol be given his chance at Leeds?

The second part of our Q&A with BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope looks at Jaka Bijol's prospects and who the best summer signing was.

John asked: I've always felt Bijol could be a big player for Leeds this season. He missed out on his possible Premier League debut against Everton because of a one-game ban from the latter end of his Serie A time. So much depends on injuries. Do you see him being an influential player for Leeds?

Adam answered: I thought Bijol might start the season, bar the suspension, as one of the first-choice centre-backs because I wondered if Pascal Struijk may be sold over the summer.

However, after the transfer window, managing director Robbie Evans explained to us why the likes of Struijk remained. He said that the decision was taken to hold on to the club's key players rather than sell early in the window to create more PSR headroom. So, on that basis, Bijol was set to compete with Joe Rodon and Struijk from the off, with Seb Bornauw in support.

An initial fee of £15m is a considerable investment, so there will be a role for him to play and you have to bear in mind that Struijk has suffered two lengthy injury lay-offs in recent seasons.

Bijol said recently: "Now the results have been a little worse in the recent period and I hope my opportunity will come as soon as possible. But I certainly understood why the situation is like this."

Iain: Which summer transfer has made the most impact so far at Leeds'?

Adam: Arguably Gabriel Gudmundsson, who is a definite upgrade at left-back as he can defend and attack.

However, I do not think you can underestimate the influence that Sean Longstaff's experience of the Premier League brings - so after seven matches I would say Longstaff.

Come back to this page later on Monday for the final part of Adam's Q&A, which will focus on Joel Piroe's season.
