Paul Robinson sheds light on Leeds United's pursuit of Krasnodar captain, as a possible attacking target for the upcoming transfer window.
Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who maintains close ties with the club, has disclosed that 24-year-old Krasnodar captain, is attracting interest from a multitude of clubs. The Armenia international, currently contracted until 2026, has showcased his attacking prowess this season, netting six goals and contributing three assists in 18 appearances across all competitions. This trend has continued throughout his career, with 63 goals and 47 assists in 241 appearances.
Leeds, aiming to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season, are exploring potential reinforcements to enhance both the quality and depth of their forward line. The Yorkshire club, striving for a return to the Premier League after their recent relegation, currently leads the Championship table, underscoring the need for squad improvements.Robinson revealed that Leeds' primary focus during the January transfer window was securing a number 10 player, a position deemed crucial by manager Daniel Farke. Despite this ambition, Leeds failed to make any signings during the winter transfer period, intensifying the pressure on the club's ownership to provide Farke with substantial reinforcements in the summer.Robinson, while acknowledging Spertsyan's talent and the widespread interest he has garnered, expressed reservations about his ability to thrive at either the Championship or Premier League level. He suggested that Spertsyan's acquisition would represent a more cost-effective option compared to a high-profile marquee signing. While acknowledging Spertsyan's creativity and intelligence going forward, Robinson questioned if he would be a suitable fit within Farke's system, particularly if Leeds adopted a more attacking and forward-thinking approach in the Premier League
