Leeds United haven't enjoyed the most efficient of campaigns, disposing of summer appointed boss Thomas Christiansen and replacing him with Barnsley's Paul Heckingbottom.

A lack of squad unity has been evident following a populous transfer strategy that saw players arrive in their droves from across the continent, with some foreign imports adapting to the demands of the Championship in a far more efficient manner than others.

One such man to star is Samu Saiz, a creative midfielder picked up from Spanish second-tier side Huesca for a nominal fee, and boy has he proven a bargain.

The 27-year-old has been excellent, and this trio of Premier League sides could be monitoring his situation in the coming months...

Leeds' star man looks the perfect signing for the Magpies, with Rafa Benitez sure to feel that he is the man to draw the best from his compatriot.

Newcastle look like they will stay up this season and Benitez knows he must build if a relegation scrap is to be avoided, with Saiz an affordable, realistic target.

I know this will hurt Leeds fans, but Saiz owes the Whites nothing and the opportunity to work under a legendary manager from his own nation is an opportunity he won't refuse.

If Newcastle are interested, Leeds must squeeze every penny from the north east side.

Watford are a progressive side beginning to assert themselves as top-flight regulars, with new boss Javi Gracia certain to turn to the second-tier and the continent in his quest to take the Hornets to the next level.

Another Spaniard in charge of a Premier League side, Gracia will retain an interest in the classy midfielder given that he is the type of player to add further quality and depth to the squad at Vicarage Road.

A comfortable mid-table finish is in reach and the next step is to challenge for a European spot; can Saiz be the man to create the chances north of London?

Gylfi Sigurdsson will undoubtedly begin to flourish, but with Davy Klaassen not cutting the mustard since his switch from Ajax, the creative role in the middle of the park is up for grabs at Goodison Park.

Money could be made available by owner Farhad Moshiri for another big spending spree and manager Sam Allardyce could indulge in a number of top European imports, but if he decides to stay closer to home and reign in his budget then Saiz could emerge as a realistic option.

The most unlikely of the three clubs, Everton would emerge as a dream move Saiz, but Allardyce is likely to pursue other options and refrain from giving the former Huesca man an opportunity.

Leeds fans, will Saiz leave?
