Little known cheap Luis Sinisterra alternative Leeds United could target

Luis Sinisterra was supposed to be Leeds United's answer to the departure of talismanic Raphinha last summer. However, injuries have plagued the Colombian's first season in English football and relegation to the Championship has raised questions over his future at the club.

The 23-year-old scored five times in 19 Premier League appearances last season but was unable to help keep the Whites in the top flight after arriving from Feyenoord in the summer transfer window. Sinisterra played just 875 minutes of top flight football, but did show in patches why he was highly sought after last year.

The Colombian international scored six goals as the Dutch side reached the Europa Conference League final and scored 23 goals in all competitions for Arne Slot's side. Recent reports claim a number of top flight sides are interested in signing Sinisterra this summer, although they're not named.

Macro Football may have unearthed a little known gem that Leeds United could target for next season on the cheap. Despite not boasting a similar output in the final third, Stuttgart forward Enzo Millot has a 93.9 per cent similarity to Sinisterra and could suit an attacking style of play next season.

The Championship is an unforgivable division but the 20-year-old French winger has already shown he can be called upon when needed. Millot scored a brace in Stuttgart's relegation play-off win over Hamburg to ensure their Bundesliga status for next season.

Valued at just €2.50million on Transfermarkt, Millot would be a cheap alternative to Sinisterra if he were to leave Elland Road this summer. The attacking midfielder boasts solid enough stats from a defensive point of view, putting in the work to get back and help his team, while also still operating effectively in the final third.
