After being named Leeds United manager recently, Marcelo Bielsa is now weighing up his options in the transfer market.

It is clear that Bielsa needs to sign some new players to have Leeds competing for promotion and he needs players that will fit his preferred 3-3-3-1 formation.

The Argentine's style of play includes two inverted wingers, who cut inside towards the central striker.

One player Bielsa has been linked with is Manchester City youngster Phil Foden.

Here, FLW shines a spotlight on his season in numbers at Man City and weighs up whether he would be a decent acquisition for Leeds.

Last year, Foden played 14 games in the Premier League and for Man City's youth side in the Premier League 2.

The 18-year-old's tally of six goals and six assists show that he is just too good for youth football.

Pep Guardiola does not want to loan Foden out but he needs to understand that a stint in the Championship would really help the youngster's game develop - more so than ripping up the youth league and playing the odd substitute cameo for the first-team at Man City.

Guardiola rates Bielsa highly and might trust him with handling the England under-19 international at Leeds.

Foden is an undoubted talent, which he showed last summer when he won the under-17 World Cup with England, scoring twice in the final and winning Player of the Tournament.

The left-footed teenage sensation would be the ideal candidate for the inverted winger role as he provides a direct threat cutting in from the right and offers assists too.
