The Leeds United striker has 14 Championship goals this season.
There’s no I in ‘team’ and Leeds United’s Kemar Roofe understands that very well it seems.
Roofe, fit again after missing two months recently, will likely finish as Leeds’ top goalscorer this season.
The 26-year-old hitman has netted 14 Championship goals, two more than Pablo Hernandez.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are favourites to win automatic promotion to the Premier League ahead of Sheffield United, with four league games to go.
And the former Oxford United marksman, a £3 million signing in 2016 [Yorkshire Post], insists that he doesn’t care about individual achievements so long as the team thrives.
He told BBC West Yorkshire Sport, when asked what finishing as the club’s top goalscorer would mean to him: “Honestly it wouldn’t mean anything. As long as my performances are good and the team wins and gets promoted, that’s the important thing.”
These are comments that will delight a lot of Leeds fans.
After all, the club’s mantra is Side Before Self and Roofe epitomises that code, with what he has said.
Bielsa’s side host Wigan Athletic at Elland Road today.
