Eddie Nketiah joined Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
Eddie Nketiah has spoken highly of Leeds United fans, as quoted on the club’s official website.
Nketiah, who joined Leeds on loan from Arsenal in the summer transfer window, was impressed with the Elland Road faithful during the Championship game against Brentford at Elland Road on Wednesday evening.
The 20-year-old striker scored the only goal of the match in the 81st minute, as Marcelo Bielsa’s side maintained their good start to the season.
Nketiah told Leeds’s official website: “The atmosphere was really good, as soon as you walk out of the tunnel you can hear the fans shouting and screaming, I think it’s really good for the players, it urges us on especially when we need a goal and it gives us that extra energy.”
Major player
Nketiah will be a key figure for Leeds in their quest to clinch automatic promotion from the Championship to the Premier League.
With Kemar Roofe having left the Whites in the summer transfer window, the 20-year-old will have to carry the burden of scoring goals along with Patrick Bamford.
The England Under-21 international striker joined Leeds only on transfer deadline day, and it will take a while for the youngster to get to Bielsa’s system.
Once Nketiah is to up speed, he could establish himself as a key figure in the Leeds starting lineup on a regular basis.
