Junior Firpo arrived at Leeds United with so much promise last summer. The left-back was one of just two major signings at Elland Road and as he made the switch from Barcelona it was certainly a deal that made sense for the Whites as they looked to replace Ezgjan Alioski with a quality addition.
Firpo had attracted interest from Italian giants AC Milan and Celta Vigo, but Leeds managed to lure him to Yorkshire with a healthy dose of Victor Orta determination and the promise of a starting spot. Unfortunately, though, his first season in white didn’t exactly go to plan as he struggled to settle on the pitch and failed to find consistency and form.
Of course, two or three injuries throughout the course of the season hardly helped the 25-year-old find traction in the side. Neither did the predicament Leeds were in as they found results and Premier League points hard to come by.
