Leeds United’s new signing, Jaka Bijol, has hailed his transfer to Elland Road as 'the biggest day in his career'. The Slovenian defender’s words reflect both personal pride and a shared determination to conquer the Premier League challenges ahead.
“This is a big day for me, for my family and I’m happy to be here,” Bijol said in an interview with LUTV. The move to Leeds, a club steeped in history and passionate support, is a pivotal step for the 26-year-old, who has already shone in Serie A and for Slovenia internationally.
Addressing the challenges of the upcoming Premier League season, Bijol stated, “Maybe the biggest one of my career so far, but I'm ready for it.” His confidence reflects a player eager to embrace the intensity of English football, viewing it as an opportunity to prove himself.
“I work for it and that's why I'm here, because it's a big challenge for everyone. It's a big challenge for me, for the club, and we're getting ready for it together,” he added. This highlights a clear alignment with Leeds United’s ambitions as they aim to reassert themselves in the top flight. Bijol added “I think the club and we myself are ready for the Premier League.”
Bijol’s message to Leeds fans was clear: “I can promise that I will give everything, that I will give everything in every training as well to be ready for the first game of the season and then just go from there.”
As Leeds bolster their defence with Bijol’s physicality and tactical nous, his arrival signals ambition. His mentality, readiness and hunger, positions him as a potential fan favourite. For Bijol, it’s a chance to make history with Leeds.
