This one came out of the blue late yesterday evening, apparently Samu Saiz is unhappy at Leeds United because his girlfriend is unhappy in England and he’s decided he wants to return to Spain for a quiet life – La Liga side Getafe are already supposed to be trying to negotiate a deal for the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old Spaniard has featured pretty regularly for manager Marcelo Bielsa in the campaign of 2018/19 and he has 21 appearances to his name in total, with a return of one goal and four assists and the vast majority of his appearances have been from the starting whistle, although more recently he’s spent time as a substitute.

The former Huesca player has largely established himself as a fan favourite at Elland Road and having arrived back in the summer of 2017, he recently broke the 50 appearance marker for the club and although reactions to the development were mixed, plenty aren’t happy.

On the one hand the timing makes perfect sense here, but with no rumblings previously some will think the timing is strange.
