Discarded 12 months ago, Leif Davis has put himself in the picture for a Premier League campaign with Leeds United. An impressive spell of training at the end of last season, following his Bournemouth return, has been followed by a solid pre-season.
Davis made his first appearance in Leeds colours since that FA Cup defeat at Crawley Town in January 2021 when he came on against Blackpool on Thursday night. A strong 45 minutes was followed by questions for Junior Firpo, the club’s recognised left-back choice.
As far as the Spaniard is concerned, Davis is here to stay and a formidable competitor for his shirt at left-back. With Stuart Dallas injured, Firpo has few natural full-backs to threaten him, but that’s not how he sees it.
