“I am really excited,” the No.9 articulated. “It is like walking in today like a first day at school. I feel like a kid again that is just starting somewhere new and just can’t wait to play and represent the football club.
“For me, it is a massive football club with a massive fan base. I have played at Elland Road before and I just remember thinking how loud the fans were and how good the fans were.”
We all have that “first day of school feeling” right now. That’s the hope and excitement that comes with a new season starting up. Don’t you love this time of year?
Elsewhere for Leeds, Jayden Bogle (hip) and Sebastiaan Bornauw (calf) are both doubts for this match while Jaka Bijol is suspended.
