Enquiry made: Leeds submit last-ditch "offer" on deadline day, Bielsa badly need him - opinion

Leeds United have reportedly submitted a bid for Calvin Ramsey…

That’s according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor, who delivered a rather exciting claim to GIVEMESPORT on deadline day. He revealed:

“Leeds have made an offer for Calvin Ramsay, a right-back at Aberdeen.

Things have improved since then but the side is merely another injury or two away from sheer panic – the likes of last season’s top goalscorer Patrick Bamford, club captain Liam Cooper and
