Former Leeds midfielder believes Chris Wood hasn’t been missed

Top Championship pundit David Prutton believes Leeds United have benefitted from selling star striker Chris Wood.

The 25-year-old scored 30 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions last season before joining Burnley for £15 million during the transfer window.

Thomas Christiansen overhauled the Leeds squad during the summer, adding the likes of Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Samu Saiz to his forward options, and Prutton is full of admiration for the job the new manager has done.

“They’re doing better than we would have expected,” he told Sky Sports.

“Christiansen has managed to use players that were already there, particularly (Pontus) Jansson, (Liam) Cooper, Eunan O’Kane and (Kalvin) Phillips, and integrate them well with the new boys.
