Leeds United striker Georginio Rutter ‘needs to be more clinical’ amid expectation warning
Rutter already has two goals to his name this season is beginning to flourish at Elland Road
David Prutton believes there is still more to come from Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter.
The 21-year-old signed from German side Hoffenheim back in January for a record deal believed to be in the region of two goals and three assist. Having at first struggled to find the net, the French forward already has two goals and three assist to his name this season under Daniel Farke.

Former Sheffield Wednesday man and Sky Sports pundit Prutton has praised Rutter’s recent performances in a Leeds shirt but believes his impact on the pitch could help transpire Leeds’ season.
“[He arrived with a] hefty price tag and took a while to find his feet,” began the 42-year-old. ”There is a little bit of debate as to where he plays with the fact that Piroe is there now, but his work rate is something Daniel Farke is very happy about
“Two goals three assists, creates goal scoring chances. Needs to be more clinical, not just because of how much he cost but the chances that he’s being afforded for Leeds United.
“He’s a big physical player and we know that the way that Daniel sets up, that first line of defence is attack and he wants people to hunt the ball down. I think with that potential of Patrick Bamford pushing him and Piroe as well for that striker role it will keep him on his toes.”
