Completed Deal: A $8.7 million contract has been agreed between Leeds united…
Two players in Leeds United’s current first team have produced an amazing statistic that has underlined the team’s stellar 2024 start.
With six victories and a tie in their seven games since the year’s beginning, Daniel Farke’s team has helped the team advance to the FA Cup’s fourth round and the top of the Championship standings.
A number of the Whites’ players have performed well lately, including Patrick Bamford and Ethan Ampadu, but Glen Kamara and Ilia Gruev are two players whose efforts seem to be underappreciated.
The Leeds pair presently lead the way among England’s top four midfielders (of those who have attempted 150+ passes) in terms of pass completion rate, surpassing players like Declan Rice of Arsenal and Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City.
With 310 of his 323 passes completed, Kamara leads the way with an incredible 96% success rate, closely followed by Gruev’s 94% (237/251). Leeds’ second half of the season should be brightened by these figures as the race for automatic promotion continues.
with playing 30 games, Leicester City moved 12 points ahead of Leeds to take the top spot with a convincing 5-0 victory over Stoke City on Saturday afternoon. Russell Martin’s Southampton team moved up to second place in the standings with their 2-0 victory over Rotherham United on the road. The Saints began their incredible 23-game winning streak in September when they defeated Leeds 3-1.
