Leeds United won against Ipswich Town at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday.
Andy Couzens has praised Leeds United defender Conor Shaughnessy on social networking site Twitter.
The 42-year-old former Leeds midfielder believes that the Whites may have found a gem in the 21-year-old, who can operate as a central defender or as a central midfielder.
Couzens made the comment following the West Yorkshire outfit’s 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Shaughnessy started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, and the performance of the former Republic of Ireland Under-18 international was very encouraging.
The win against Ipswich means that Leeds remain at the top of the Championship table with 20 points, level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Cardiff City, who are second and third respectively.
Thomas Christiansen’s side will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Cardiff away from home at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Leeds will head into the game against the Welsh club with confidence and should pick up at least a point.
