Daniel Farke backs £5m Leeds player to explode

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has praised Whites midfielder Glen Kamara, saying he’s a “top teammate” and “great guy to have around”.

The Whites🌳 boss was speaking to the press – as per – ahead of Leeds heading to Leicester on Friday.

෴Kamara joined Leeds in the latter stages of the summer transfer window. The Elland Road side reportedly paid around £5million for his services.

🏅The 28-year-old has so far made seven appearances for Leeds, of which five have been Championship starts. He has also registered one assist.

﷽Kamara was especially impressive in Leeds’ last match, the 4-1 win over Huddersfield last weekend.

꧒As per , he ‘brought dynamism to the midfield and asked questions of Huddersfield with his raids from deep.

😼Rating him a 7 out of 10, they also wrote: ‘Some good tackles in there too. Looks like the strongest midfield pair alongside Ampadu now.’

🎃Farke spoke at length about Kamara’s influence on and off the pitch, saying: “Each and every week, each training session on the pitch with us is helpful and he’s on a good path.

൩“So I think there’s still more to come and he needs a bit time to be there with 100 percent. But I agree, I think it was probably his most complex performance.

ꦍ“And he’s definitely a player who gives us lots of quality on the ball in his decision-making which pass to make, can dictate also the rhythm of the game.

🌌“I think he still needs to sharpen a bit up in the physical way because due to his lack of game-time in the last months.

💧“But the more he plays and more he’s involved I think the better his physical endurance and stability will be and he’s definitely on a good path.

ಞ“And further on, he is a top teammate, top lad, pretty much involved in each every joke that the lads have in the dressing room. So he’s a great, great guy to have around that we’re all happy together.”

Kamara a solid player for Leeds

𒊎It’s great to see Kamara finding his feet at Leeds and putting in impressive displays. He’s a solid player who puts in a shift, looks silky on the ball and is overall a great acquisition at Elland Road.

൩Leeds are third in the table and, though the top two have established sizeable leads, it’s a long season and a player with the quality and experience of Kamara will help Farke’s side go a long way.
