Leeds United winger Ezgjan Alioski may be the ace in the pack next season at Elland Road?
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa will be expecting big names such as Pontus Jansson and Samuel Saiz to be talismans next season for his side.
However, Ezgjan Alioski may be the ace in the Whites’ pack who comes to the fore under the new manager, and Leeds supporters got a glimpse of his true quality last season during his debut campaign in English football.
Alioski will surely tick a lot of boxes for the new Leeds manager given his incredible work-rate and his ability to be effective in both attacking and defensive areas.
The 26-year-old impressed in parts of last season for the Yorkshire giants, scoring seven goals and supplying six assists in return.
He caught the eye with his intensity and, if Bielsa can help him add consistency to his game, there is no reason he cannot thrive next year at Elland Road.
Alioski is technically good enough to rip apart the Championship in the final third, possessing the skill in one-on-one areas to breeze past defenders and also being lethal from long-range.
He is definitely one of the players that Bielsa should be looking to squeeze every ounce out of and his versatility to play in a variety of roles makes him a bit of an unsung hero.
