Leeds United’s best player is Pablo Hernandez, according to Luke Ayling.

Luke Ayling has told LUTV that Pablo Hernandez is Leeds United’s best player.

The Spanish playmaker joined Leeds under Garry Monk last summer in what represented quite a coup for the West Yorkshire outfit.

The 32-year-old joined from Qatari-based outfit Al Arabi, having previously starred for Swansea City in the Premier League for three years.

In addition to that, Hernandez, who had three spells with Valencia, also has four Spain caps under his belt, and Ayling was quick to suggest he was the Whites’ best player.

He told LUTV, when asked who the best player is: “Pablo. He’s a player, isn’t he. He’s played for Spain!”

Hernandez is one part of a very formidable attacking midfield trident, along with Egzjan Alioski and Samu Saiz, this season and all three have been exceptional behind the striker, whether it’s Pierre-Michel Lasogga or Kemar Roofe.

Leeds will be looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat at Cardiff in midweek by beating Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsbrough on Sunday.
