Clocked in at 21mph: Spurs' £19.8m-rated gem can add to Bielsa's woes at Leeds - opinion

Leeds United will need to be wary of one player in particular this weekend as they get set for a critical game in the Premier League.

He is currently averaging 2.1 dribbles per game, which is the most of any Tottenham player this season, whilst also getting away 1.2 key passes, which ranks joint-third in the Spurs squad, as well as 1.4 shots per game – the fourth-best in the side.
