Former Leeds United star was brilliant for Bournemouth on Sunday.
Former Leeds United man Lewis Cook was arguably Bournemouth’s stand-out player today.
Eddie Howe’s side came from behind to shock Arsenal and record a 2-1 win over the Gunners at Dean Court.
Cook, who joined the Cherries from Leeds in the summer of 2016, was brilliant on and off the ball for the South Coast club and looks to be justifying his £6 million transfer.
It hasn’t always been plain sailing for the 20-year-old midfielder, but on this evidence he does have a very bright Premier League future ahead of him.
And Leeds fans on Twitter were among those to acknowledge his excellent performance.
Cook rose through the ranks at Leeds and it’s understandable that many of their fans are happy to see one of their own prosper in the top fight, even if some harbour a sense of resentment over his decision to leave West Yorkshire.
Ronaldo Vieira and Kalvin Phillips are two more United midfielders to have developed through the academy and hopefully for the Whites they too can be big Premier League players in the future – but at Leeds rather than someone else.
