Gjanni Alisoki’s time in Leeds United’s starting line-up is surely coming to an end.

Leeds have made a wonderful start to the new campaign, and it would be wrong to suggest that Alioski has played no role in that.

The Macedonian has contributed in a goalscoring sense, and his work-rate is often very admirable.

However, with Pablo Hernandez and Kemar Roofe both edging closer to fitness, Alisoki’s place is surely under threat.

Of all of Leeds’ attackers, the 26-year-old has generally been the least influential in recent weeks.

Alioski’s persistant failure to stay onside has been questioned, while he has also shown a lack of end product, when in good positions.

And Marcelo Bielsa would be right to take Alioski out of his team when Hernandez returns, with the winger’s starting place surely under threat now.
