da bwin： Leeds fans were eyeing up moves for Aston Villa players yesterday, so should they make a summer swoop for Jonathan Kodjia?
da realbet： Leeds fans rejoiced when Paul Heckingbottom left the club recently, and this summer is now absolutely crucial to Andrea Radrizzani’s reign as owner.
The Italian has made some great business decisions in recent weeks, like linking the club with the mega rich San Francisco 49ers, but he needs to back any new manager in the transfer market to get fans believing again.
One of the biggest issues during Heckingbottom’s reign was the lack of a Championship proven goalscorer, and the likely arrival of Abel Hernandez should go some way to fixing that.

However, the pacey Uruguayan can’t do it all by himself, and the struggles of young Caleb Ekuban and Jay-Roy Grot, combined with the departure of Lasogga, means the new manager will probably need two new striker signings to compete at the right end of the table.
Aston Villa are facing a nightmare summer, as BBC reporter Richard Conway reported yesterday that the club is on the brink of administration.
The Villans will likely be looking to offload any valuable assets this summer, so Leeds should absolutely be eying up Kodjia, as the Midlands club will be forced to accept less than face value for their sellable assets.
The towering striker grabbed 19 league goals in back to back seasons with Bristol City and Villa, before injuries destroyed his 2017-18 campaign.
Regardless of whether the new manager at Elland Road plays one or two up front, having both Hernandez and Kodjia available would be an incredible step up from last season.
So, Leeds fans, would you take a punt on Kodjia? Let us know by voting in the poll down below…
