Four domestic rivals reportedly after 23-year-old: Why Leeds must join race to solve problem area
Added attacking dimension
It is not just in defence where Obita can improve one’s side. Showing a willingness to leave his position on the left side of defence and get forward, the defender proved effective in attack.
Scoring three goals against Ipswich, Burton and Fulham last season, Obita also managed to add four assists during his 41 league and cup encounters last time around.
That attacking desire would give Leeds an extra boost in their search for promotion, as well helping target man Chris Wood replicate the 30 goals that saw him fire Leeds to seventh.
