Patrick-Bamford-Leeds-ChampionshipLeeds United will be thankful for the goalscoring exploits of their wingers currently, as Wilfried Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville stole the show away at Swansea City last time out in the Championship.

Gnonto helped himself to a brace in an electric showing from the slick Italian attacker in Wales, whilst Summerville bumped his goal tally for the season up to 16 in all competitions during the 4-0 win.

Joel Piroe leading the line also got in on the action with a strike against his former club, softening the blow of Patrick Bamford dropping out last minute to face Luke Williams’ Swans.

Farke and Co could start to rue not keeping a firmer grip on this former £27m Leeds purchase if Bamford faces another lengthy absence on the sidelines with injury, with this attacker actually outperforming Bamford this season even when the 30-year-old had recaptured his free-flowing best whilst injury-free.

Rodrigo’s statistics at Leeds

Joining the Whites on the eve of the 2020/21 campaign – the first Premier League season under Marcelo Bielsa after the iconic ex-Leeds boss had clinched automatic promotion glory for the West Yorkshire side – Rodrigo would blow hot and cold during a three-season stay at Elland Road.Patrick-Bamford-Leeds-Championship

Funnily enough, the Spanish striker’s most fruitful campaign for Leeds would be the 2022/23 season that saw the Whites crash out of the top flight – the former Valencia man netting 15 goals in all competitions, before moving on in the immediate aftermath of the club being relegated.
