BBC Sport’s TV and radio commentators have picked two Leeds United players who will be worth watching out for in the next few months.
Joel Piroe
Age: 26 Position: Striker Country: Netherlands
Guy Mowbray: The very definition of a wildcard, given that he can look like he can do it all AND the total opposite – sometimes within the same game.
I’ve got a feeling Leeds will have brought in a new striker to start ahead of him before the big kick-off, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him come on as an impact sub to get them a point or two early in the season.
Jaka Bijol
Age: 26 Position: Centre-back Country: Slovenia
Conor McNamara: Leeds’ new centre-back from Udinese is a very interesting signing. I’ve been wondering for a few years now why a Champions League club has not snapped him up.
His one failing seems to be a tendency to mis-time lunging tackles, something he will need to get right in the cut and thrust of the Premier League, but otherwise he appears to have all the attributes – very strong in the air, mobile, and able to ping an accurate long-range pass.
I commentated on several of his games for Slovenia at last summer’s Euros in Germany, and he did really well in games against strikers such as Harry Kane, Rasmus Hojlund, Alexander Mitrovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo – none of them scored in their games against Bijol during the tournament.
