Velez Sarsfield playmaker Thiago Almada reveals that he is open to signing for Leeds United, who are coached by Argentine compatriot Marcelo Bielsa.

Velez Sarsfield playmaker Thiago Almada has revealed that he would like to play under Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Almada is one of the most highly-regarded prospects in world football, inevitably resulting in speculation about an eventual switch to the Premier League.

However, despite being linked with Manchester United and Manchester City, the Argentine has suggested that he views Elland Road as a potential destination.

Speaking to TyC Sports, the 19-year-old said: "I would like Bielsa to coach me. My friends sent me something about Bielsa, but I am calm. Whether it happens or not, we have to see.

"I don't watch much soccer, but I saw some Leeds highlights and I saw something similar to what we did in Velez with [Gabriel] Heinze."

Almada, who is available for £20m this summer, has contributed nine goals and four assists from his first 46 outings for his current club.
