Jay Roy Grot scored his first Leeds United goal against Sheffield Wednesday.
Jay Roy Grot may have become a better option for Leeds United than Caleb Ekuban all of a sudden.
Grot came in for fierce criticism over the early part of the season, and he was taken completely out of contention during Paul Heckingbottom’s first few weeks in charge.
The young forward was told to go and play for Leeds’ under-23 side, and his time away from the spotlight appears to have done him good.
Grot finally scored his first Leeds goal in their last match against Sheffield Wednesday, and he may just have done enough to get himself back into contention.
Indeed, there is an argument to suggest that Grot actually looks more a threat than Ekuban.
Ekuban has been given a number of opportunities throughout the campaign, but he is yet to score in the Championship.
And Heckingbottom should now be considering picking Grot instead of the 24-year-old Ghanian forward.
