Ezgjan Alioski has impressed since arriving at Leeds United in the summer.
Eddie Gray has told LUTV that he has been impressed by what he has seen from Leeds summer signing Ezgjan Alioski so far, and suggested that he expects the Macedonia international to improve further.
Alioski was one of a number of signings made by the Whites during the recent window, and was arguably one of the ones who arrived with the greatest level of expectation on him, after scoring 16 times for Lugano last season.
But he appears to have done an excellent job of proving himself to the Elland Road faithful, scoring a stunning goal in the win over Nottingham Forest and contributing two assists in the Championship.
And Gray lauded the impact that the 25-year-old has made, and backed him to get even better as he continues to adapt to his new surroundings.
“I think Alioski looks a very confident boy. What I like about him and his play, he’s very aggressive, and I don’t mean that from a physical point of view, I mean that when he gets the ball,” he told LUTV.
“He likes to go and attack people. If he plays right side, he tries to come inside, get the ball on his favoured left foot and have a go at the target, he’s not frightened to do that.
“He’s another player, when I look at him I think he’ll keep on improving.”
It could certainly be argued that if Alioski could choose any Leeds legend to receive praise from, it would surely be Eddie Gray given that he also made his mark as a winger.
And that would suggest that Leeds fans can continue to be excited about what Alioski could achieve during his time with the club, as if any person is going to know what it will take for a winger to thrive at Elland Road, it would be the 69-year-old.
And they will be hoping that Gray’s prediction that he will continue to improve further comes to fruition as it will certainly help Thomas Christiansen’s men build on their excellent start to the campaign.
