da stake casino： Marcelo Bielsa made an eye-opening claim about Eddie Nketiah during his press conference on Thursday, but that wasn’t the biggest takeaway from that statement as it seems that the Argentine has dropped a hint about his future plans.

What’s been said then?
The quote we’re interested in is actually what he said about Nketiah in his press conference.
“I hope he will still be here and I hope he wants to stay with us,” said Bielsa.
“I think it’s important he solidifies his integration into Leeds and it would be good for that if he stays after January and one more year so that he and Leeds are able to show the confidence we’re looking for in each other.
“That (returning next season) would be ideal to allow him to be a success at a club, like Leeds.
“It’s clear that Leeds consider Nketiah to be a good player for us.
“We’re trying to make him feel that Leeds is the proper place for him to develop.”

Dropping a hint
The fact that Bielsa is thinking ahead to next season and saying that he wants to have Nketiah at the club next year hints that the Argentine wants to stay beyond the current term.
The 64-year-old has never been one to stick around at a club as he’s never managed more than 113 matches at one club since the turn of the millennium, and even then his stint with Bilbao was an anomaly as his next highest tally is actually with Leeds where he has managed 71 games.
However, the fact that he’s planning ahead to next season indicates that he may be planning on staying at Leeds, and if that hint is proven to be true that’s great news for the club given where he’s taken them.
The Whites were a club in mid-table mediocrity but now they sit comfortably in the automatic playoffs.
Meanwhile, one hurdle may be denying Leeds the chance to sign Matej Vydra, but they shouldn’t let that stop them.
