Adam Forshaw knows he has a fight on his hands if he is to nail down a spot in Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United side this season. The midfielder watched on this summer as the club added talent and depth to their midfield ranks with the signings of Tyler Adams, Marc Roca and Darko Gyabi.
The trio are all expected to fight for a spot in the middle of the park alongside Forshaw, who is back to full fitness after fracturing his kneecap in April, just before the last season's gruelling Premier League run-in started to gather pace. The 30-year-old has been impressed by the business done by the Whites this summer, with Brenden Aaronson, Luis Sinisterra and Rasmus Kristensen adding quality elsewhere on the field, too.
However, he’s also been relishing the extra competition provided by those new recruits.
