Thomas Christiansen has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United new boys Jay Roy Grot and Pawel Cibicki are doing well at Elland Road.

Grot and Cibicki both moved to Leeds in the summer transfer window, but they have been used sparingly so far.

Grot is yet to start a Championship match for Leeds, while Cibicki has not even featured in the league.

The pair both started in midweek though, as Leeds were knocked out of the League Cup by Leicester City.

And Christiansen said: “I know it can be quite difficult but they are doing well. I believe they are doing well because they have good team mates who make them feel integrated in the team.”

Grot and Cibicki were both brought to Leeds to improve their attacking options, but their quality is yet to been shown.

The duo already appear to be some way down the pecking order, and they may not have done enough to impress in Leeds’ last match to stay in the starting line-up.

Leicester beat the Whites 3-1 to pick up the victory in the League Cup.

Leeds’ next match comes against Sheffield United, and if Christiansen’s men are able to win, it would be a huge boost for their promotion chances.
