Tyler Roberts believes he wouldn’t be the player he is today without his spell working under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United. The forward brought an end to five-year association with Leeds earlier this summer as he competed the permanent switch to Birmingham City.
Roberts made 108 appearances in all competitions for United, of which all but one came under Bielsa, playing a key role for the Argentine in both the Championship and the Premier League. His career has taken a wayward turn since Bielsa’s departure from Elland Road, though, and a tough run of injuries saw him struggle to make the desired impact while on loan at QPR last season.
As such, he’ll be looking to find some momentum and get back on track once more at St Andrew’s this time around under John Eustace. Birmingham struggled last season and found themselves on the peripheries of a relegation battle at times, but Roberts will be looking to put everything to he learned at Elland Road to good use in order to help the Blues kick on.
