The Spaniard is finding his feet at Leeds United it seems.
Leeds United boss Garry Monk has told LUTV that Pablo Hernandez is a “top, top player” and believes there is more to come from him.
Hernandez joined Leeds on a six-month loan deal in the summer, after barely training with parent club Al Arabi in Qatar.
But he has slowly but surely improved with the Whites, and broke his duck in fine fashion on Saturday with the second goal in a 2-0 win at Cardiff City.
The Spaniard, who has previously played with Swansea City and Valencia, appears to be finding his feet in Yorkshire.
And Monk, who worked alongside him at the Welsh club, says there is more to come from the 31-year-old and the rest of his playing staff.
“Pablo’s a top, top player. His career speaks for itself. He’s come in here with a determination and he wants to show his quality,” he told LUTV.
“He’s still improving, like all the squad are, but we’re getting there. There’s a lot more to come from this group. Pablo has a briliant quality and he’s one of many who I need to push the get the best out of him.”
Monk may be tempted to rest the Spaniard for tonight’s visit of Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup, given that a tough visit of Ipswich Town awaits them on Saturday.
The Championship is of the utmost importance and the ex-Swansea boss cannot afford to lose his best players for secondary competitions.
