Pontus Jansson and Luke Ayling are both massive fans of their esteemed Leeds United colleague.
Luke Ayling has appeared to cosign a very big statement made by Leeds United team-mate Pontus Jansson on Saturday.
Leeds beat QPR 2-1 at Elland Road to establish a five-point lead over the playoff places in the hunt for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Kemar Roofe scored both of the Whites’ goals but Jansson was drooling over Pablo Hernandez at full time.
The Sweden international wrote on Twitter that Hernandez is the best player that he has ever shared a team with, and Ayling seems to wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.
No awards are handed out in December, but if the Spanish maestro maintains this form in the second half of the season then he has a very good chance of winning Championship Player of the Year come April.
The former Swansea playmaker, who joined Leeds under Garry Monk in 2016, has been in irresistible form under Marcelo Bielsa this season, scoring seven goals and setting up five in 12 league outings.
Roofe is spearheading United’s charge toward the big time, but Hernandez is certainly pulling the strings in the background and it’s refreshing to see two of his colleagues acknowledge his importance.
