Leeds United striker Jay-Roy Grot is off the mark for Vitesse.
Leeds United forward Jay-Roy Grot has wasted little time getting off the mark for new loan side Vitesse.
Grot scored his first goal for the club in a win over Willem II, netting the opener in a 2-0 victory.
Leeds signed Grot for £1.5 million in 2017 but he struggled to make an impact.
He is yet to play a single game under Marcelo Bielsa, even a friendly, being sent out on loan in two consecutive seasons.
At 21, there is no need for Leeds to give up on Grot just yet, especially if he can put together a good season in Holland.
Last season he scored six times for VVV Venlo, who finished 12th in the Eredivisie.
He was often played out of position as a winger, and this was the case again for Vitesse this past weekend.
Having made his debut off the bench last week, Grot was named as a starter on Saturday.
He repaid the faith shown in him by netting the first goal, winning over his new fans instantly.
Vitesse finished fifth last season and are a better side than Venlo, and Grot may be in a superior situation to his last loan spell.
He is off to a perfect start and if he can score regularly, then he might have a chance when he returns to Leeds next summer.
