Leeds United’s recent performance at Queens Park Rangers was a game of two halves, with the team struggling to cope with the physical and fired-up QPR side in the first half. However, the introduction of Willy Gnonto at halftime and the improved performances of Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell helped turn the tide in favor of the visitors.
Meanwhile, a player reportedly in talks with Leeds United over a summer move produced an impressive performance in the Super Lig. Anthony Dennis, a 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder, has been likened to N’Golo Kante due to his exceptional defensive skills and ball-winning abilities.
According to reports, Leeds United has opened talks with Goztepe regarding Dennis, who is valued at £4.2 million. Dennis’s performance against Eyupspor on Sunday was impressive, as he won the ball back nine times in the opponent’s half and made five tackles. His defensive skills and aggression have drawn comparisons to Kante, and he could be a valuable addition to Leeds United’s midfield.
Dennis’s style of play is well-suited to Daniel Farke’s high-pressing tactics, and he could be a useful asset in breaking up opposition attacks. However, his passing accuracy is an area that needs improvement, as he completes fewer than 80% of his passes. Nevertheless, his raw materials and potential make him an exciting prospect for Leeds United.
The comparison with Tyler Adams is also pertinent, as Dennis’s aggressive and dynamic style of play could make him a suitable replacement for the American midfielder. With Leeds United pushing for promotion, the addition of Dennis could provide a significant boost to their midfield.
