Viduka says the top-half finish was testament to Bielsa's coaching - and believes there is no limit to what Leeds could achieve if landing two or three top recruits in the summer transfer window.

Leeds have already shelled out €15m to sign left back Junior Firpo from Barcelona and Viduka would now like to see the addition of a creative forward who can play the final ball to Patrick Bamford and help turn United's possession into more goals.

"Honestly I think Leeds last season were the most exciting team of the new teams that came into the league and then they did much better than everybody expected," Viduka told talkSPORT.

"They played some good exciting football which was refreshing.
