While Leeds United had a rather productive summer window, there were some players Jesse Marsch went after that the Elland Road club failed to acquire.
Many will remember Bamba Dieng or Cody Gakpo, as they never left their clubs, but there was also Charles De Ketelaere, who decided to choose Milan over the Whites.
At the time, the choice seemed rather obvious, as he would be playing Champions League football at a title winning side while Leeds just about avoided relegation in the previous campaign.
However, it really hasn’t gone to plan for the Belgium international, who has hugely struggled in Italy, to the point where, despite a €32m transfer, he is no longer a starter.
Not only that, but Gazzetta dello Sport reiterate that his spot at the World Cup for his country could be at risk.
They don’t mention the Leeds transfer, but it’s clear that, as things stand, he appears to have made the wrong choice, and ‘the good plays of the early days evaporated under the weight of the pressure, and maybe even the €32m paid out by Milan’.
In the meantime, Brahim Díaz has overtaken him in the pecking order, and alongside Krunic, the pair ‘have rewritten the hierarchies’.
As for Leeds, their form has been a bit all over the place of late, and they were recently knocked out of the EFL Cup by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
