Leeds United's £3m man 'open' to transfer exit, ex-Barnsley ace could join divisional rivals

Leeds United picked up another big win last weekend, as they outclassed Tottenham Hotspur with an exhilarating 3-1 victory at Elland Road, in a game that saw Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo all get on the score-sheet.

Speaking after the win, Whites manager Marcelo Bielsa gave his verdict on goalscorer Rodrigo's development at the club, and said: “Rodrigo is a vital player for us. The obligation of all of us who are part of this group is to manage to get him to be able to do everything he’s capable of doing.

“After the time he spent without playing, he played half an hour against Brighton, 45 minutes with the Under-23s and he came on in the game today. After each appearance he’s played better than he had in the previous game.

“It’s important we manage to see the richness he has, football wise. He’s a player who has solutions to the problems of the game without anyone indicating them to him.”

Meanwhile, down in the Championship, it was a final day of real drama for two Yorkshire clubs, with both Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday suffering relegation on the last day of the season. Meanwhile, Barnsley are gearing up for their play-off semi-final against Swansea City next week, as they plot an unprecedented push to the Premier League.
