For years and years being loaned out at Leeds United was pretty much a death sentence for your Elland Road career.

The likes of Pawel Cibicki, Caleb Ekuban, Lewie Coyle, Yosuke Ideguchi and countless others all endured temporary spells away from the Yorkshire club that were nothing but a precursor for an eventual permanent switch.

United still have a number of players away from the club on temporary terms that will likely never get a chance.

Eunan O’Kane is currently out on loan, and Phil Hay has stated that he will never play under Marcelo Bielsa.

However, there is one man out on loan at the moment that may be giving the Argentine no choice but to consider him in the future.

Of course, we’re talking about Rafa Mujica.

The young Spaniard had a lot of hype surrounding him when he arrived at Elland Road in the summer as fans were very excited about his arrival. However, he was immediately loaned out to Extremadura where he didn’t impress, failing to score in any of his eight appearances for them.

January saw another loan move come as he joined Villarreal B, and since that move he hasn’t looked back.

Mujica has scored three times in his first four appearances for the Spanish club, and you really can’t ask for more than that.

Granted, it is the third division of Spanish football, but goals are goals no matter where you score them.

If he were continuing to falter at Villarreal B then the Whites could easily have written him off, but he’s banging them in over in his home country. For that reason, Leeds may want to reassess what they’re going to do with him when he returns.

This loan move was Mujica’s chance to show what he’s got, and he’s doing exactly that.
