Former Leeds United and Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta admits to a huge error of judgement

Sports Director of Seville Victor Orta He was once the golden boy of Monchi's glorious era, went to try in England. Yet his work has become the subject of mixed reviews at former club Leeds United to say the least, while he is also under significant scrutiny at Sevilla, although he is in a difficult situation. His latest admission did not improve his image in Yorkshire.

One of the most wanted players in Europe right now is the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokerswho has already scored 30 goals this season. The Swedish striker is set to be one of the big names on the move next summer, with few sides unwilling to sign him.

He could have exploded in his debut at Elland Road. Orta admitted that while Gyokeres was at Coventry City, his previous club, he decided not to give the green light to a move.

“When I was at Leeds United, I didn't want to pay 14 million euros for him. Cases like Gyökeres are the pleasant surprises that football offers, those things that we can't predict,” he mentions. Sport.

Orta could do with Gyokeres currently. With strikers Isaac Romero and Kelechi Iheanacho also scoring in La Liga this season, Los Nervionenses are looking for possible opportunities in the winter transfer market to bring Garcia Pimienta more firepower. Their highest scorer so far is Dodi Lukebakio, who has five to his name.
