Is Leeds United summer signing Samuel Saiz good enough for Antonio Conte’s Chelsea?
Saiz has been a massive hit at Leeds since his move from Spanish club Huesca in the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has scored five goals and provided four assists in 16 Championship starts for the Whites so far this season.
The former Spain Under-19 international, who can also operate as a forward, has been arguably Leeds’s best player so far this campaign.
Former Leeds striker Davison has suggested that Saiz is good enough for defending Premier League champions Chelsea, a claim that will surely amuse the London club’s fans, many of whom may not even be aware of the Spanish attacker.
Davison told LUTV: “The way Samuel plays, he could slot into a Chelsea side tomorrow without a shadow of a doubt.
“The position he plays, technically he is very, very good, he has got a great understanding of the game, and his footballing intelligence is fantastic.”
Saiz is playing well at the moment, but claiming that he could slot into the Chelsea team is a bit too much.
After all, the Spaniard is playing in the Championship and not in the Premier League or in the Champions League.
Moreover, the 26-year-old has not made much impact when he has played for big(ger) clubs.
Saiz could not break into the Real Madrid first team and also struggled to feature for the Atletico Madrid senior team.
