Robinson: Leeds have made an “audacious bid” to sign James McAtee

Speaking to Football Insider, former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson revealed that the Whites have made a bold move for McAtee, describing their bid as “audacious.” He also suggested that the club is willing to make a substantial financial offer, speculated to be around £30 million.

The pundit claimed:

“Leeds have made an audacious bid for him.”

“He’s had two really good loans at Sheffield United, West Ham have been in the mix and he’s been linked with Fulham, but it’s not just going to be them.

“And what would they be getting for him in January? £20-25million? £30million?

“There are a lot of clubs that would take James McAtee, whether it be on a permanent or loan deal.

“But I think Pep Guardiola might be selfish between now and the end of the season and keep him.

“He wants him to be a part of his squad and I think they’re going to need him.

“The amount of injuries this season, you’d have thought he would already have broken into that first-team with the talent he has.“
