Leeds United are going strong in the Championship at the moment.
Neil Redfearn has suggested to Radio Yorkshire, as quoted by Inside Fulbol, that Kemar Roofe is a better player than his Leeds United teammate Marcus Antonsson.
Roofe, who can play as a winger or as a striker, is 23 years of age and joined Leeds from Oxford United in the summer transfer window.
Antonsson also moved to the West Yorkshire outfit in the summer, with the 25-year-old striker joining Garry Monk’s team from Kalmar FF.
Former Leeds head coach Redfearn has suggested that Roofe is a better player than Antonsson.
“I don’t think Kemar Roofe has really had an opportunity,” Redfearn told Radio Yorkshire, as quoted by InsideFutbol. “I don’t blame Garry Monk for that, I just think he’s had an awkward set of circumstances.
“You’ve got to remember as well that the club paid £3m for him, so he’s a big money signing.
“He had a fantastic season last season for goals, but I honestly do think he’s got to play in his place.
“I like Antonsson. I think he works hard and grafts, but I’m not sure there’s a lot of goals in him. I think Roofe is a better bet to be honest as that second striker.”
Roofe has yet to score in the Championship for Leeds, but the former West Bromwich Albion prospect has created four chances in nine league matches.
Antonsson has scored one goal and created four chances in eight Championship games for the Whites so far this campaign.
Leeds are 11th in the Championship table at the moment with 16 points from 11 matches.
The West Yorkshire outfit are just four points behind Birmingham City, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot.
