Victor Orta is quite possibly the busiest man in Yorkshire at the moment.

The Leeds United director of football is working 24 hours a day to ensure that the Whites are prepared for what's to come in just over one weeks' time.

After 16 years away, Leeds will be competing in the Premier League once again - a day that some supporters thought might not come in their lifetimes.

But after cruising to promotion in the Championship last time out, it's the case of Leeds being back where they belong.

Led by Marcelo Bielsa, the Whites will always have a chance this term - regardless of which side they come up against.

The Argentine will look to keep the faith with most of his current Leeds squad, but he knows that he'll need to strengthen if they're to do more than take part in a relegation battle.

Several players have already joined the club this summer, with Robin Koch and Rodrigo among the higher profile names on the list.

But Leeds are far from done just yet.

A couple of reports are linking the club with a handful of players - some of whom could be strutting their stuff at Leeds United sooner rather than later.

One of those is Josko Gvardiol.

Reports have linked the Dynamo Zagreb starlet with a £17.8million move to west Yorkshire this summer.

The 18-year-old is exactly the sort of talent that Marcelo Bielsa likes to work with, and so bringing him to Leeds would be a real signal of intent.

According to social media, it's a move that could happen before long.

MOT Leeds News have been keeping track of the Croatian starlet and spotted something interesting on his Instagram page.

He's started following Leeds United's official account.

What this means for a move, we don't quite know yet.

But one thing that is certain is that Leeds supporters will be very, very excited by this hint.

GIVEMESPORT'S Phil Spencer says...

Okay, social media hints need to be taken with a fairly large pinch of salt, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing in it.

Josko Gvardiol is a player who has been linked with Leeds United for a while now, and it seems that the interest is credible.

Whether Leeds can get a deal for the defender over the line remains to be seen, but there's plenty of time to do that.

The 18-year-old is certainly one for the future and under the leadership of Marcelo Bielsa he has the opportunity to become a top level player.

Watch this space - or more importantly, watch his social media activity.
