Leeds United fans have been discussing the potential of signing a player from one of their Championship rivals.
According to The Northern Echo, the Whites are known to have an interest in Middlesbrough centre-back Daniel Ayala, who is out of contract this summer.
The Spaniard denied thoughts of an exit during the January transfer window but has since gone on to play only 34 minutes having limped off against Preston North End.
Ayala is currently valued at £3.6m by Transfermarkt and supporters at Elland Road have been discussing whether or not they’d like to see him make the switch.
Here’s what has been said…
There were many completely against the idea of landing Ayala with him being described as a “cheat” as well as a “liability.”
Others believe that he wouldn’t be good enough to even get in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.
This season, the long-serving defender has played 25 matches, per Transfermarkt, but hasn’t been seen since their New Year’s Day victory whilst he was part of the side that Leeds thrashed 4-0 back in November.

However, some in west Yorkshire would like to see them clinch the Boro skipper as there are some qualities they could do with – although, the division Leeds will be playing in next season is still unknown.
If they do indeed gain promotion, then there will be question marks on the veteran as he’s only ever played 26 times in the top-flight.
Some of the reasoning behind wanting him to join United included his aerial presence with him standing at 6 foot 3 inches tall, and that if Bielsa agrees, then who is going to really question the cult hero.

One supporter even broadcasted his hate for the centre-back but did admit he would fit in well at Elland Road.
