Leeds United were reportedly close to landing a highly-rated La Liga youngster prior to their relegation from the Premier League.
Former Barcelona youngster Ilias Akhomach has revealed just how close he was to agreeing a move to Leeds United prior to the Whites relegation from the Premier League. There were reports in Spain during the final weeks of last season suggesting the Whites were close to agreeing a move for the 19-year-old as he contract with the Catalan giants came to an end.
Akhomach has gone on to make five appearances for his new club and his form earned him a maiden call-up to the Spain Under-21 side last month as he marked his debut with a goal and an assist in a Euro Under-21 Championship qualifying win against Malta. However, the young winger has revealed his career could have been very different had it not been for Victor Orta’s departure from Elland Road and Leeds’ unsuccessful battle against relegation into the Championship.
