Georginio Rutter believes Leeds United fans ‘deserved better’ after seeing their club relegated from the Premier League. The Whites succumbed to a bottom three finish last month with a 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the season and as a result they will be playing second tier football next season.
Rutter only joined the club in January, making the switch from Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim for a club record fee. Unfortunately, though, much to the frustration of supporters, it seems as though he struggled to settle into Elland Road life.
The Frenchman, who is still only 21-years-old, made just one Premier League start for the Whites alongside a handful of late appearances off the bench after finding opportunities hard to come by. As such, he failed to make an impact on the Whites’ fortunes as they slumped towards the relegation zone.
