Former Queens Park Rangers boss Ian Holloway has showered heaps of praise on Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe saying he would be a key player in Marcelo Bielsa’s system.
Roofe came under criticism from a section of Leeds’ fans last season, despite him finishing as the club’s top-scorer with 14 goals in all competitions.
This season Bielsa has added extra competition for the forward role by signing Patrick Bamford, but Roofe’s superb form has forced Bielsa into using him as the club’s first choice.
The 25-year-old produced a strong performance in Leeds’s 3-1 win over Stoke City in their opening game, and followed it up with a brace against Derby County last weekend which is arguably one of his best performances in a Leeds shirt since joining the club in 2016.
