Leeds United winger Ezgjan Alioski has spoken about his style of play.
Leeds summer signing Ezgjan Alioski has suggested to the Yorkshire Evening Post that his pace and battling spirit are two of the most notable attributes in his game ahead of his first season with the Whites.
Alioski arrives at Elland Road having enjoyed a sensational season with Swiss side Lugano, during which he scored 16 times and contributed 14 assists.
And, perhaps with it fair to say that most Leeds fans will not have been aware of the 25-year-old before speculation linked him with a move to England, Alioski has provided an insight as to what the supporters can expect from him.
“I would say I’m very fast. People say I’m quick. “I like to dribble with the ball. I’ll fight in offence but I’ll fight in the defence too. How do you say? I’m a fit boy,” he told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
Leeds appear to have two major cult-heroes within the current squad in Gaetano Berardi and Pontus Jansson, but that may become three if Alioski proves that his assessment of his style is accurate.
Berardi and Jansson appear to be loved because their effort can never be questioned and they both appear to have an endless amount of fighting spirit in the tank – and Alioski appears to have suggested that his style is very much similar.
Berardi is arguably the ultimate cult-hero currently, and his versatility and willingness to play anywhere has enhanced that reputation – just as it did for players like Andy Hughes previously – and with Alioski also capable of playing in a number of positions, from full-back to up front, it may perhaps be fair to suggest that the Macedonia international has the capabilities to become the latest player the fans really take to their hearts.
