Last time out the midfielder scored the only goal of the game as Blackburn beat the Whites 1-0 at Elland Road to put a spanner in the works of Leeds’ promotion push. While it is far from certain who will be promoted to the Premier League next season, Lawrenson is adamant that those likely to be in the top flight next season need to try and bring Szmodics on board.
“I could see Sammie Szmodics playing in the Premier League next season as he’s an out-and-out goal scorer,” Lawrenson is quoted by Football League World. “I could see him fitting into one of the teams that get promotion from the Championship this season, either playing as a number 10, a winger or as the main striker.
“I couldn’t see him fitting into any of the teams in the top 10 of the Premier League, but he’s not far away as he’s a goal scorer, and that’s priceless for any team.” Leeds can move back into the automatic promotion places on Monday night when they travel to Middlesbrough.
