Marcelo Bielsa has blasted Arsenal and Eddie Nketiah for treating Leeds unfairly after the young striker was recalled from his loan at Elland Road.
The youngster was sent to the Championship side last summer in a season-long deal, but had a restricted role in the 1st half of the season and featured as a starter in only 2 of his 17 league appearances.
After his recall, Bielsa has come out to speak about how wrong it was for the loan to be ended prematurely.
According to him, he did not understand the decision since Arsenal chose them ahead of other clubs when the loan move was on.
His words, “Of course we accept the supporters have some doubts in the team,”
“The media and press have the same position. We try to analyse if the messages we receive are right or not. Everybody knows about our high point and our weak point. We analyse and try to correct, try to improve and adapt ourselves to the situation.
“About these new players in the team: I have done all the explanations, given all the information, the unfair treatment of Arsenal and Nketiah, the three of them to Leeds.
“When Arsenal choose Leeds, Leeds took an engagement to Arsenal’s decision and Nketiah’s decision. They thought a lot about it. They choose us putting away other options they have.
“We did everything we said we were going to do. So, we have nothing to claim ourselves.”
Leeds are second in the Championship after 27 matches, sitting one point behind West Brom.
