Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood believes Leeds United fans will love new signing Eddie Nketiah.
The Arsenal youngster completed his loan move to the Whites on deadline day, with Marcelo Bielsa's side believed to have beaten off a host of clubs from around Europe to secure the 20-year-old's signature.
And Sherwood, speaking on Sky Sports’ The Debate show on Thursday night, believes the England youth international can play a huge role in helping the Whites secure promotion back to the Premier League this season.
“Nketiah to Leeds today, for me,” the former Premier League winner with Blackburn Rovers said.
“He needs to go out and get game time, rather than Under-21 football, and there is no better stage to go out and get game time than Elland Road.
“That crowd will love this kid. He runs in behind, he wants to chase balls, gets himself in the box and scores goals. He’s got a good attitude, with a bit of spite which is what you need. I love him, I love watching him play.
“I’m sure he’s ready to step up and he’s got a great stage to do it on. Leeds is a proper football club. If he goes there, starts well, scores a lot of goals, becomes a sensation, he can be crucial in getting Leeds promoted.”
