It is not often in Eddie Nketiah’s career so far that he has managed to string together a run of three starts. But heading into his reunion with Leeds United this weekend that is exactly what he has done, which is showing signs of him unlocking the potential which the Whites saw glimpses off.
At Leeds, Nketiah was handed just two league starts – both of which he struggled to make an impact in, partly due to injury, and the fact he was reduced to cameo appearances from the bench. Despite that, though, Nketiah still managed to contribute three important goals to Leeds’ eventual promotion winning campaign.
He scored winners against both Brentford and Barnsley, as well as a late equaliser at Preston North End – which helped the Whites to an important seven points. The 22-year-old displayed a clear knack of being in the right place at the right time, and a clinical edge when it mattered.
