Liam Cooper seriously impressed with 24-year-old Leeds player after Huddersfield Town win yesterday

Leeds United star Liam Cooper was seriously impressed with teammate Pascal Struijk after yesterday’s 4-1 domination of riv🦩als 🐬Huddersfield Town.

Struijk social media as Daniel Fark🌺e’s side returned to winningไ ways and third place in the Championship.

Elland Road witnessed a first-half masterclass from Leeds as they decimated the struggling Terriers.

Crysencio Summerville may not be 100% fit, but the fact he c✤an score twice and produce two assists in just 45 minutes means Championship defences should be terrifieꦑd when he’s back to his best.

It was also a welcome return to the score sheet for Daniel James who can be an incr💎edibly effective player when in form.

However, Farke will be delighted with how his defence performed up until the 70th minute.

Michal Helik’s goal ꦅruined Leeds United’s clean sheet although the match was won by then.

The 24-year-old was also wearing the captain’s armband on the day, showing his import𝐆ance to theꦍ side right now.

It’s been suggested tha🎉t he’s now worth £20m but there’s no way Leeds will consider selling him if they return ღto the Premier League next season.

Farke’s side will have to be🔴 at their very best for that clash as they travel to league leaders Leicester City.

The Foxes have only dropped three points all season but Leeds fans will have fꦍaith that they can get a result.

When Farke’s side weren’t in their best fo𝓰rm, 𓆏they still managed to defeat high-flying Ipswich Town.

With Struijk and C🎃ooper at the heart of their defence, Leeds will hope they can also shock🅰 Leicester on Friday night.

And with Summerville in the form of his life right now, if he can stay fit then he’ll create plenty of problem🥀s for Enzo Maresca’s team.
