- What transfer of 'spectacular' Miguel Sierra to Leeds United will mean at Elland Road
Miguel Sierra could potentially be on his way to Leeds United from Sevilla in the upcoming transfer windows.
The 22-year-old is attracting interest from the Whites after breaking into the Spanish club's first-team plans this season.

With the Granada-born left-footed winger making waves in LaLiga, the West Yorkshire outfit are considering making a move for him.
Sierra has emerged as a target at Elland Road and his arrival would undoubtedly have repercussions in the squad.
Daniel Farke was handed multiple new attacking additions out wide in the summer.
So far this season, none of the new signings up front have made an impact for the Peacocks and they may have to go back into the market soon to reinforce the forward line.
Why Miguel Sierra signing would be bad news for Leeds United favourite
Leeds are thinking about triggering Sierra's release clause at Sevilla, which is worth around £16.6million.

The right-winger started the first eight LaLiga games for the Nervionenses this season before picking up an injury.
Under Luis Garcia Plaza, the Spanish attacker is starting to showcase his true potential at Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
It's no wonder the Whites are watching Sierra closely after scoring two goals and providing one assist in the league so far.
The forward mostly plays on the right-wing and his arrival could potentially be the end of Dan James at Elland Road.
While the Wales international has established himself as a favourite at the West Yorkshire outfit, he has struggled for game time over the last two seasons and the arrival of another winger would certainly present more challenges for him.

Harry Wilson seems to have pipped his compatriot in the pecking order and the arrival of another winger surely wouldn't bode well for the former Manchester United ace.
Leeds 'seriously consider' triggering Miguel Sierra release clause as transfer value skyrockets What Miguel Sierra could bring to Elland Road
Sierra is someone who is seen in high regard by many in Spain.
While the youngster has broken onto the scene this season, his former manager, Manolo Sanchez, already had an idea of his qualities.
Sierra spent around a year at Aviles Industrial, where his talent came into the spotlight.

Speaking to Estadio Deportivo , Sanchez said: "I perceived he had very striking technical qualities to make the leap, with spectacular strength, acceleration, dribbling, shooting and his ability to get into the box."
If the Whites do sign the Spanish forward, they could be getting an all-round attacker capable of making a massive impact.
The West Yorkshire outfit would also be investing in Sierra's future, and if he reaches the heights expected of him, Farke could have a massive talent at Elland Road.
