According to the Belfast Telegraph, Leeds United ace Stuart Dallas is set to have his wages at least doubled as the Whites prepare to offer him a new contract.

The Northern Irishman has been one of Leeds’ most important players this term, appearing in every single league game so far for the Whites.

He’s netted seven goals this season, including a memorable brace against Manchester City earlier this month.

Somewhat surprisingly, Dallas reportedly only earns £20,000 a week, and as you can imagine, his performances in the Premier League have warranted a hefty pay rise.

His performances this season are perhaps best summed up by the praise he received from Paul Merson last week.

“He has been absolutely outstanding this season. He has got better and better,” Merson said.

 “He is a real good footballer. I am a big fan of his. I was a big fan of his when he was at Brentford.”

The report claims that Dallas is set to have his wages at least doubled at Leeds, and it’s hard to argue that he doesn’t deserve it.

The exact amount that Dallas will be offered is unknown, but he deserves the minimum £40,000 a week that is being reported.

The fact that Dallas is being offered a new and improved deal two years before his current contract expires shows just how good he has been this season, and we’re sure that every Leeds fan is eagerly awaiting the confirmation that he’s put pen to paper.

Fingers crossed we get an official announcement about a new deal for Dallas sooner rather than later.
