Leeds United Chief Executive Angus Kinnear has said on The Phil Hay Show on The Athletic that Stuart Dallas is a world-class player.

Kinnear has praised Dallas for being able to play in a number of positions, and has said that the Northern Ireland international has been the best player for Leeds this season.

The Leeds Chief Executive said about Dallas on The Phil Hay Show on The Athletic: “For me, He is a world-class player on the wing, at full-back, at number 8. He is certainly my Player of the Season.”

Dallas has been superb for Leeds over the years.

Signed as a winger from Brentford back in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.3 million, the 30-year-old has shown his versatility by playing as a left-back and as a midfielder under Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

The Northern Ireland international has done his job perfectly and works hard for the team, and has even earned comparisons with Liverpool star James Milner.

The former Brentford star has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 35 Premier League games for Leeds this season.

Dallas may be 30 years of age, but the Northern Ireland international is actually getting better with every passing year.

Leeds have a really top-quality player in Dallas.
