Caleb Ekuban has told Radio Yorkshire that Leeds United fans can look forward to “a lot of goals” from him over the next few months.

The 23-year-old made his first appearance in over three months on Sunday with a lively cameo in Leeds’ 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at Elland Road.

Ekuban, a £500,000 signing from Chievo Verona in the summer, had 11 minutes in which to make an impact after replacing Kemar Roofe and he certainly did, with his speed giving Boro a torrid time.

The Italy-born hitman will be hoping for another cameo in Wednesday’s trip to Championship leaders Wolves at Molineux, and Ekuban reveals that he hopes to make up for lost time and then-some over the coming months.

Asked by Radio Yorkshire what Leeds fans can look forward to from him, Ekuban said: “In the next few months, I hope a lot of goals!

“I’m the type of player who tries to go deep, makes the defenders run and I try also to play with my team-mates, like little combinations, and I help the team defensively”.

Ekuban has one goal and one assist for Leeds so far, though it came in a first-round League Cup encounter back in August.
