Ny akademi-spiller: Leonard Ngenge

[GaryMac]

Leonard Ngenge (18) har signert for Leeds - vil være knyttet opp mot akademiet. Forsvarsspiller med noen kamper på seniornivå i hjemlandet Nigeria og så vidt jeg forstår også to seniorlandskamper.

...er ingen lettvekter vi har signet her!
Spilte altså hele kampen mot Senegal i sommer.

Asked to describe himself as a player, Ngenge replied: "I am left-footed, I like to show my tackling abilities, getting the body in the way and doing everything to cover the goalkeeper."

The teen added: "Leeds is a great club. I know they have got tons of history and I heard about some players like Tony Yeboah from Ghana who scored lots of goals, so I know they are a good club."

Ngenge featured for the full 90 minutes of Nigeria's 1-0 loss to Senegal back in August before playing half of the 4-0 defeat to Sudan seven days later. The youngster says the experiences taught him a lot.
