Jack Harrison waxed-lyrical over Raphinha’s talents and claimed that he is a ‘quality player’, as posted by Leeds United’s official YouTube channel.
The 24-year-old, who well and truly bamboozled Gary Cahill on Monday night, helped Leeds to a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
Even though the summer signing didn’t get on the scoresheet, he perhaps had his best game in a Leeds shirt, including an insane piece of trickery that left Cahill going around in circles.
Harrison gets to see first-hand what the Brazilian is like and he had nothing but positive words to say about his teammate.
“Fantastic player,” said Harrison. “You have seen his skill and his talent every time he steps onto the pitch.
“He’s a quality player for us and we are hoping that he can continue in this form.”
Raphinha is fast becoming one of the players of the season and he has settled into Marcelo Bielsa’s side like he has played under his stewardship for years.
It usually can be difficult for new players to showcase their talents for a Bielsa team because of his high demands.
But not for Raphinha! Others in the side, such as Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are perhaps one of the first names on the teamsheet, but he’s not far behind now.
