Andy Couzens has singled out Leeds United hitman Pierre-Michel Lasogga for praise due to his dedication.

The 25-year-old enhanced his burgeoning reputation with Leeds fans on Saturday by scoring in the 3-2 win over Ipswich Town.

The German striker, a season-long loan signing from Hamburg, now has three goals in four Championship games for the Whites, having netted twice on his debut earlier this month.

What’s more impressive is that Lasogga’s wife gave birth on the Friday night, but the big marksman made himself available for the win over Ipswich in any case.

And ex-Leeds man Couzens admits that he is loving that sort of dedication.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Lasogga will also be available for Tuesday’s visit to Neil Warnock’s Cardiff City, by virtue of him attending a pre-match press conference in West Yorkshire today.

Even without Lasogga, Leeds would’ve had decent options to replace him, with Kemar Roofe, who has impressed in that role this season, and Jay-Roy Grot available.
