Ezgjan Alioski has got tongues wagging for his odd celebration with Leeds United.

Leeds United's Ezgjan Alioski celebrates scoring his side's second goal with teammates during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road on...

Leeds United’s Ezgjan Alioski has told a press conference [Yorkshire Evening Post] that he won’t be disclosing the genesis behind his odd goal celebration.

The 27-year-old has caught the eye for Leeds as a left-back in recent weeks, but also because of how he celebrates goals.

Alioski has netted twice in his last three games for Marcelo Bielsa’s side and on both occasions the same ritual was performed with his team-mates in front of the supporters.

The Macedonia international appears to organise Leeds’ outfield players in a line length-ways, before all of them motion something with their arms.

The celebration has baffled fans and media alike, but Alioski, a £2 million signing in 2017 [Yorkshire Evening Post], is refusing to divulge the secret.

Fans of the West Yorkshire side won’t mind not knowing the idea behind it, providing they continue to see it.

Bielsa’s side, who sit second in the Championship, could go top if they beat Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday and Norwich City lose at home to Swansea City tomorrow night.
