New Bristol City signing immediately takes aim at Leeds United

Leeds United kick-off their Championship campaign this weekend against Bristol City at Ashton Gate but one man is looking to ruin Marcelo Bielsa's hopes of a perfect start.

Kasey Palmer has penned a four-year deal with the Robins following a successful loan stint with the club in the second half of last season and the 22-year-old is raring to go.

Leeds' clash with City is undoubtedly the stand-out fixture of the Championship's opening weekend, with both sides seen as contenders to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Bielsa's side did the double over the Robins last season, with their last defeat in this fixture coming in September 2016 - and Leeds have lost just once in the last 14 meetings.

Therefore, a clash with Leeds will certainly see Palmer thrown straight into the deep end if he features this weekend but he is raring to go and wants to secure a victory.

“Games don’t get much bigger than that,” he told the club's official website. “So hopefully I can be involved straight away, we can get off to a winning start which will be important."

Palmer hopes it will be the start of something special with the Robins, as he is looking to be part of a side that earns promotion to the Premier League in the coming years.

“In the next four years I want to develop myself as much as I can under the management of Lee Johnson. I want more goals, assists and to try and get my stats as good as possible.

"Also in that time the club can hopefully get promoted to the Premier League which is where it deserves to be."
