Leeds United-linked defender makes honest 'dream' admission as Pascal Struijk familiarity highlighted

Reported Leeds United target Anselmo García MacNulty admits it is a dream of his to play for Real Betis - an admission that could keep him away from Elland Road. Seville-born defender MacNulty is thought to have attracted interest from Leeds and Championship rivals Leicester City during a strong campaign in the Netherlands with PEC Zwolle. The 21-year-old was a free agent last summer but has since become a regular starter for the team sat 12th in the Eredivisie.

Leeds have enjoyed success in recruiting defensively from the Netherlands, with Pascal Struijk joining from Ajax as an 18-year-old back in 2018. The Dutchman arrived for a nominal fee and now looks a bargain as one of the Championship's best centre-backs. A major selling point of Struijk was his versatility with the Ajax academy graduate proving more than capable at full-back as well as in his more natural role.
