Souleymane Doukara is playing well for Leeds United at the moment.

Leeds United attacker Souleymane Doukara has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he is playing well at the moment due to the hard work he is putting in training.

Doukara, who can play as a striker or as a winger, has been playing well for Leeds in recent weeks.

The 25-year-old was on target for the Whites on Saturday evening, helping his side to a 2-1 victory over Rotherham United away from home at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The attacker has scored two goals and created five chances in seven league matches for the West Yorkshire outfit so far this season.

Doukara has stated that the results on the pitch for him are a direct product of the hard work he is doing in training. The Leeds man, though, has stated that he can do more and improve.

“I’m very happy because I’m playing more games but it’s (down to) hard work every day in training,” Doukara told The Yorkshire Evening Post. “There’s no secret. It’s just the hard work I put in and the staff who help me. That’s why I’m playing well.

“But I can do more. Everybody can do more, especially me. Every day I want to do more to keep my place in the team.”

Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are in genuine contention of a playoff spot during the 2016-17 campaign.

Garry Monk’s side are currently fifth in the standings with 29 points from 18 matches.
