Ekuban joined Leeds United on a four-year deal this week.
Caleb Ekuban has told LUTV that he cannot wait to play alongside the “amazing” Chris Wood for Leeds United next season.
The 23-year-old attacker joined Leeds on a four-year deal earlier this week from Chievo.
The Italy-born forward, who can also play on the wings, is unlikely to get many chances up front for the Whites next season after Wood netted 30 goals last term.
You could argue that United’s promotion hopes hinge on the New Zealand hitman replicating his talismanic feats of last season.
And Ekuban is fully aware that Wood is a fine centre-forward, telling LUFC that he hopes to help him on the goal trail in the 2017-18 campaign.
He said: “Amazing player. I hope to give him a hand and help him score as much as he did last year.”
Ekuban will be hoping to make his competitive Leeds debut on August 6 when Thomas Christiansen’s side visit newly-promoted Bolton Wanderers in the Championship.
