Exciting: Leeds fans will be purring as footage of loanee emerges

Leeds United fans will have been left buzzing by the performance their loanee Cody Drameh put in over the weekend.

Having signed for the club in the summer of 2020, opportunities in the senior side were very few and far between for Drameh in his first season, with all of his minutes coming for the U23 side.

Despite this, he was shipped out to Championship outfit Cardiff City in the January transfer window, where he’s been able to play a lot more regularly.

His most recent performance in the Bluebirds’ draw against Blackpool may have been his best yet, as he managed to complete 81% of his passes, make one key pass, win two aerial duels and two interceptions, whilst also providing the assist for Joel Bagan to grab an equaliser for the hosts in the early stages of the second half (via WhoScored).

Indeed, footage posted online by @freflchampvids only adds to his performance by being able to show off his skills rather than just relying on the statistics.

And given how many goals Leeds have shipped so far this season (50), the second-most of any team in the league, it’s not
