Victor Orta has promised Leeds fans a new signing from Asia
Leeds United have had a busy transfer window, reshaping the squad under new manager Thomas Christiansen.
The Yorkshire club have brought in 14 new faces this summer and made Hadi Sacko and Pontus Jansson’s moves permanent.
However, they are not done there and are reportedly set to make a surprise signing from Asia, despite the transfer window now being closed.
That is according to the club’s director of football Victor Orta, who promised the new arrival in a Facebook Q&A with fans.

When asked if Leeds were tracking any players in Australia, Orta replied: “Obviously we are watching players around the world - Australia have really good talent so why not?
“It’s true we make a prioritisation - France, Italy Spain and the UK market which for me is the priority.
“But we have a special group of scouts that watch the countries with lower leagues perhaps like Pawel Cibicki of Malmo in the Sweden league.
