Former Leeds United man Lee Sharpe has told the club that Patrick Bamford will be a "key player" for them if they are to avoid being relegated from the Premier League this season.
The Whites held Brentford to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Elland Road in their last league game as Jesse Marsch's side had the better chances to win the match overall. Many thought that new signing Georginio Rutter would be handed his debut, but the American decided that he did not want to risk "unleashing" the Frenchman just yet.
Bamford came off the bench late on in the match and despite failing to find the back of the net in his 10 minute cameo, Sharpe is adamant that the 29-year-old will play a vital role for his side in their fight against the drop this term.
