Good January signing

Forshaw joined Leeds from Championship rivals Middlesbrough in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £4.5 million.

The 26-year-old has proved to be a good signing by the West Yorkshire outfit and has been playing well for the Whites.

The former Everton midfielder has made eight starts and one substitute appearances for Leeds, providing one assist in the process.

Forshaw will play an important role for Leeds during the 2018-19 campaign.
