Tyler Roberts joined Leeds United in the January transfer window.

Leeds United striker Tyler Roberts has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he can deliver the goods for the club and score goals.

Roberts, who can operate as a striker or as a winger, joined Leeds from West Bromwich Albion in the January transfer window for a fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £2.5 million.

The 19-year-old had injury and fitness issues during the second half of last season and was able to make his debut for Leeds only against Southend United this past weekend.

The talented and promising teenager has suggested that he is ready to step up and score the goals that Leeds need in order to get promoted to the Premier League from the Championship

Roberts told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “I still want to be involved and starting games.I’m going to be trying to do that. If I keep getting stronger and fitter then I can get into the team and make a big difference.

“I’d say people can expect to see pace, power and some skilful play for me. I think I’m a creative player. I like to get in one-v-one attacking situations and go past people. And I’m positive there’ll be goals as well.”

Stepping up

Roberts is only 19 years of age and the youngster is still developing and progressing as a footballer.

The teenager, though, will have to step up if he is to be successful at a demanding club like Leeds.

The Whites need a striker who can score 15 to 20 goals in the Championship next season, and the Wales Under-21 international has to work extremely hard to reach that sort of level.
