If it was not for a last -minute equalizer from AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, Leeds United would have celebrated two successive victories of the Premier League under Daniel Farke.
A 2-2 draw against the severe cherries of Andoni Iraola is not a terrible result, all things considered to be the promoted sides of the championship continue to show that they belong to such an intimidating level.
The close confrontation with visitors to the southern coast has also shown an excellent summer recruitment from Leeds, while Anton Stach and Noah Okaor have stood out again, among other fresh purchases.
Leeds off -competition artists against Bournemouth
Stach was not as extremely brilliant as against Wolverhampton Wanderers, however, without more daring free kicks.
However, the final whistle, the German had nevertheless won three duels on the ground of his 40 touches of the ball, with his scorer flair replaces a certain grain at the challenge of Bournemouth.
Leeds fans were allegedly relieved to see another hero of this 3-1 success outside Molinine Start against Bournemouth in the form of Okaor, the international in Switzerland seeming rather attached at the end of this whirlwind competition.
It only lasted for the cherries for the cherries, but its franchise on the ball in the front areas certainly attracted the attention of the Elland Road masses, with three successful dribbles and two shots on the goal of Bournemouth almost catching the men of Iraola.
However, far from all the new brilliant toys filling the XI of Farke’s departure, it is the former reliable Joe Rodon who equalized for Leeds with a ball head, with the 10 million pounds sterling to bring him permanently last summer by continuing to look like a flight.
He is not the only recent purchase made to look like a good deal agreement, however, with a star under the radar with a higher transfer assessment than Stach and Okafor in shape, despite their impressive beginners in England.
The star under the leeds radar is now worth more than Stach & Okaor
The signatures of distant Europe will always be seizures of instant attention, stach costing 20 million pounds sterling to obtain from Hoffenheim, in addition to Okafor by joining AC Milan for an equally expensive £.
However, Farke would have been abundantly aware of this summer that the spine, for its part, needed a Premier League experience, having tasted the bitter disappointment of the relegation of the division with Norwich City when this experience was simply not there.
Fortunately, Sean Longstaff has already come to the rescue in this department.
Purchased for only 12 million pounds sterling, the former United midfielder has already managed to show his high -flying course, with his global projection against Bournemouth see Farke declare the AS of 6 feet 2 inches as “exceptional”.
It was also deserved for praise, taking a look at his superb numbers of the draw, with Longstaff very good for his goal and his help, after having amassed a ridiculous seven key passes throughout.
In addition to this creative flair, however, the 27 -year -old – who is now up to 177 high -flying outings – also won a powerful ten duel in total, with previous comments from Alan Shearer on Longstaff being an “incredible” talent that sounds now, even if he has left his childhood employers.
We can say that Newcastle could have done a good deal when he gets rid of their local talent, football transfers now believing that the value of Longstaff is well above the 12 million pounds sterling for which he was bought in July.

Surprisingly, Longstaff is now the second highest asset in Leeds at 21 million pounds Sterling – according to football transfers – Stach and Okaor not even making the list above, with their own values at 16 million pounds sterling and 15 million pounds sterling respectively.
Despite this strong increase in the value of Longstaff that comes out, Farke will know that he needs his complete talented team to continue shooting all the cylinders to guarantee survival, the first signs that look full of hope in their quest for Premier League safety.
