Pundit issues ‘incredible’ Leeds United claim after what he’s seen in person
Leeds United are no longer in danger of getting relegated this season.
That is according to Spurs expert John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Leeds took the lead three times against Tottenham on Saturday (12 November) but eventually lost 4-3.
The loss stopped the Whites from winning three games in a row and moving into the top half of the Premier League table.
Despite the loss, Leeds made a good account of themselves in North London.
Wenham, who attended the game in person, was impressed with Leeds’ performance.
“Summerville, another goal for the boy,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He is looking incredible. He might have been thinking about sneaking into the Dutch squad for the World Cup after his late run of form.
“Obviously that hasn’t happened but he will be working with Leeds and looking to continue to improve and nail down that starting spot.
“I thought some of the other Leeds players looked good too. Rodrigo looks a player now. He has come alive finally and he is now looking worth the large fee they paid to Valencia.
“That was good to see. I was impressed with Leeds, as bad as we were in that first half. I think they have enough to avoid going down, it’s just about picking up the results when they deserve it.”
Leeds went into the game against Spurs on the back of successive wins against Liverpool and Bournemouth.
Those results eased some of the pressure that has been building around Jesse Marsch.
