Nahki Wells pays Leeds United big compliment ahead of Saturday duel
𒁏 that Leeds United are heading in the right direction ahead of Saturday’s clash between the striker’s new side Bristol City and Leeds at Elland Road.
▨Wells, 29, joined Bristol City in the January window on a permanent basis from Premier League side. The Robins chose to sign Wells after he starred for QPR during the first half of the campaign – netting 15 goals in just 29 outings.
𝓰The Bermuda international is said to have cost Lee Johnson’s side £5million (), a move which was orchestrated just days after he scored against Leeds for QPR in a 1-0 win at Loftus Road. The striker scored controversially, with replays showing he handled.
🥂Wells could be in for a somewhat cauldron-like reception at Elland Road on Saturday as he takes on Leeds for a third time this season, and he stated he has “history” with the Whites. But he did state that they were going in the right direction.

🃏“I got the better of them at QPR at home, I got the winner, so I’m familiar with scoring against them. So I do have a history with them and it’s one I’m looking forward to,”
🅷“It’s a fantastic stadium, a well supported club and one moving in the right direction. But we’re here to stop that.”
TBR’s view – If Leeds can cope with Wells, three points is secured
ꦇThe momentum and confidence is back at Leeds after an excellent performance and well-earned point at Griffin Park on Tuesday night – a match which saw Leeds dominate the game, and defend superbly to keep out Brentford’s attack.
🍃Now, the likes of Liam Cooper and Ben White will need to be at the top of their game come Saturday – and keeping Championship expert Wells quiet will be a major step towards three crucial points.
🔯Leeds need to win on Saturday to get their promotion campaign back on track. Stopping Wells will be pivotal to doing that.
