Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw speaks highly of his teammate Pablo Hernandez.
Forshaw, who joined Leeds from Championship rivals Middlesbrough in January 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Sun to be worth £4.5 million, has been impressed with the work-rate of 33-year-old Spaniard Hernandez, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger.
The 27-year-old former Everton and Brentford star made the comments following Leeds’s 2-0 win against Ipswich Town at Elland Road in the Championship on Wednesday evening.
Forshaw told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Hernandez: “He’s an example to everyone. He’s 33 now but his work rate is phenomenal.
“With his creativity he’s a little magician at times and I think we’re going to need him for the rest of the season.”
