Former Nottingham Forest striker Jason Lee has strongly backed Sam Surridge to cut it in the Premier League if given a chance.
Surridge played a valuable role in winning promotion as he scored eight goals since joining for around £2m from Stoke City in January. However, he has seen Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis start ahead of him as the central striker this season, with Morgan Gibbs-White playing as false nine in the last two games.
Surridge, 24, has made one league start, but has scored twice in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town and he registered an assist in an impressive performance against Tottenham in the same competition.
