Leeds United summer signing Samuel Saiz has scored against Port Vale and Sunderland already this season.
Saiz joined Championship club Leeds from Spanish outfit Huesca in the summer transfer window.
According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, the Whites had to pay Huesca a transfer fee of £3 million in order to secure the services of the attacking midfielder this summer.
The 26-year-old, who can also operate as a forward, has made a strong start to life at Leeds.
The Spaniard scored a hat-trick in the West Yorkshire outfit’s 4-1 victory over Port Vale at Elland Road in the first round of the EFL Cup earlier this month.
Saiz also opened the scoring for the Whites in their 2-0 victory over Sunderland way from home at Elland Road in the Championship at the weekend.
Leeds winger Dallas, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, has spoken highly of Saiz.
The 26-year-old Northern Ireland international has stated that the Spaniard is a class player and has predicted him to get better.
“I don’t think I need to explain how good he is,” Dallas told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Saiz. “He’s a class act and he’s only going to get better when he gets fitter.
“He is still adapting to the game, there’s still a lot to come, but he’s scored again. Personally I can only see him getting better.”
It is quite a scary prediction for opposition teams. If Saiz is only going to get better, then Leeds could be blowing away opposition’s defences at will.
The attacking midfielder is not only very creative, but he also seems to have an eye for goal, and this is going to be a huge concern for opposition defenders in the Championship as the season progresses.
Midfielder Vernon Anita, who also joined Leeds in the summer transfer window, has spoken positively about Saiz as well.
“Saiz is technically very good and he finds the pockets very well,” the former Newcastle United man told The Daily Mail. “He showed here he can score goals in this league.”
