Swedish attacker Pawel Cibicki has finally made his mark at Leeds.
Burgeoning attacker Pawel Cibicki has told Leeds’ official website that he would pick two Real Madrid stars, and two others that finished in the top five of the Ballon d’Or if he was in charge at Elland Road.
The summer signing from Malmo spoke in the latest instalment of “You’re the Gaffer”, which has seen Gaetano Berardi, Kalvin Phillips and others answer questions on what they would do if ever given the chance to manage Leeds.
Cibicki, 23, decided to pick Real Madrid left-back Marcelo and his teammate Luka Modric, as well as Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi and veteran Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon as his four dream signings.
The versatile attacker also told Leeds’ website that he would be like Jurgen Klopp as manager at Elland Road, and hand backroom staff roles to Samu Saiz, Pontus Jansson and Ezgjan Alioski.
Cibicki’s Elland Road career has sprung to life of late after a difficult start that saw the £1.5million recruit fail to make a Championship appearance until December 9.
However, he produced an assist in each of his first two league appearances against QPR and Norwich City, before featuring against Hull City, Birmingham City and Burton Albion. He was an unused substitute last time out.
He could be handed a start against League Two minnows Newport County on Sunday afternoon in the third round of the FA Cup, as Thomas Christiansen looks for a repeat of the Carabao Cup win earlier in the season that resulted in a 5-1 win.
