Leeds United in talks to sign player year after Everton exit – Working on…
Leeds United are off and running in Germany after a comprehensive win over Hannover 96 that saw a young player stake further claim to a position he covets.
Mateo Joseph was on target twice in the 4-1 victory and helped cause further problems for the Bundesliga 2 side, in an impressive second half display. Joseph as one of a number of Leeds players catching the eye, along with newboy Jayde Bogle and midfielder Ilia Gruev, who grabbed himself the opening goal. Here’s the YEP take and some off-camera moments.
Good day: Mateo Joseph. Didn’t get the start but that rarely matters in pre-season friendlies when so many changes are made at half-time. He was one of those and it took him next to no time to make his mark. His first goal was all about the run in behind the last man and composure to finish. His confidence is clearly sky high at the minute, he looks in great shape and his manager is pleased with what feels like a step up since last season. The second goal was just a striker in the right place, adding the right finish. He still has a lot to do to secure that number 9 role but he’s building towards it, at least.
