00:00Another interesting one is Yaka Bigo. I mean, we're recording this ahead of the publication of your piece about his medical.
00:11But by the time this goes out, of course, people will have read that and had time to digest the news.
00:17What do you make of that then? Again, it's one which has been played out in the media a little bit more.
00:22He obviously had a lot of input from people in Italy saying that this has been progressing step by step.
00:34He's someone who I think we can safely say is probably going to be a Leeds United player next season.
00:39And I think has the potential to potentially be the unsung hero signing of the summer.
00:46Assuming that Leeds are going to add a striker and maybe a number 10 as well.
00:49I can really see Bigo being possibly the most impactful signing in terms of how Premier League ready, I think, he is.
01:01Well, I mean, he's vastly experienced. He's vast in size.
01:06They say he's the height of three Joe Donoghues.
01:10That's what the word in Italy is this week.
01:13Yeah, so as we're recording, the medical is probably beginning or is underway and Leeds are working to finalize.
01:23You know, they've been working day and night to get this finalized with Udinese.
01:26Yeah, I like the look of a big galoot centre-back, you know, six foot four.
01:35First contact is absolutely massive.
01:38And, you know, Joe Rodon, he wins his fair share of first contact, doesn't he?
01:44Right corners.
01:46More than his fair share.
01:47That was championship level, we know.
01:49But having two players who can really compete in the air between Beal and Rodon and Stroik, who's still in the building, we can't forget.
01:58And a massive asset, whether that's for a massive asset sale or, you know, a ball-playing left-sided centre-back who is also very big and wins a lot of headers.
02:10Yeah, they've got some real depth as it stands, you know, once everything's signed, they'll have some real options and decisions at centre-back, won't they?
02:21And threat, threat from set pieces, which is going to be massive, but I think most important of all is defending set pieces.
02:28Because if they can be solid at set pieces, that will be a huge, huge tick in the boxes that need to be ticked if you want to stay up.
