Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s former translator Salim Lamrani has praised Patrick Bamford on Twitter.

Lamrani, why left his role as Bielsa’s translator at the end of last season, has spoken highly of Bamford.

The following post from Lamrani will open many Leeds fans’ eyes about the former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea forward’s quality as a footballer and as a human being.

Important player

Bamford had injury issues last season, and the former Middlesbrough forward did not make the impact at Leeds that many would have expected him to.

The 26-year-old made 16 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Championship for the Whites last season, scoring nine goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The forward has scored four goals and provided one assist in six Championship matches for Leeds so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.

Leeds are aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship table this season after ending up third in 2018-19.
