European football, he averaged 1.48 points per game, which was actually his worst record in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>At Tottenham, he had a 1.65ppg, and at Wolves, he had a ratio of 1.68ppg.<\/p>\n<p>It works out at an average of 1.6, which would see Leeds pick up 56 points between now and the end of the season, guaranteeing survival.<\/p>\n<p>While football doesn\u2019t work like that, it\u2019s a clear indication of the qualities he has, and <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds<\/a> would be making a huge error by not
