Mateusz Klich has been one of Leeds United’s best players this season.

Tony Dorigo has told LUTV that he is ever so impressed by the resurgence of Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich under Marcelo Bielsa.

Leeds have enjoyed a brilliant first couple of months this season, with Bielsa’s side sitting third in the Championship and two points off the summit.

Klich, a £1.5 million signing in the summer of 2017, has played as big a role in the Whites’ excellent start as anybody, netting four goals from midfield in 12 league outings.

This is a player who returned to Elland Road in the summer following a half-season loan at Utrecht, having only started one game under Thomas Christiansen in the first half of last term.

And Dorigo, who spent six years at Leeds until 1997, admits he is blown away by the Pole’s attitude.

Dorigo told LUTV: “He [Klich] is the biggest one for me. I saw him pre-season and my goodness, what an attitude he came back with.

“He is fit and flying around and he looks tremendous.”

Klich’s form has also brought about a resurgence at international level, with the 28-year-old starting both of Poland’s Nations League games over the past month.
