Dominic Matteo believes Leeds United fans have yet to see the full potential of Ilia Gruev, one of Daniel Farke’s signings, who has been working exceptionally hard in training since arriving at Elland Road. As Leeds prepares to face Southampton at Wembley on Sunday for a place in the Premier League, they must alter their approach after losing both previous encounters this season.

Gruev, who joined in January, has become a key player and is expected to be in the starting lineup. Matteo praises Gruev’s dedication, noting that despite not always being flashy, he excels at the fundamentals and has the potential to contribute more goals. One of the season’s highlights was Gruev’s superb free-kick, which led to a 4-0 victory over Norwich City, showcasing his quick decision-making and ability to perform under pressure.
