Eddie Gray says Leeds United’s Kemar Roofe will only get better

Former Leeds United winger Eddie Gray believes that Kemar Roofe will only get better for the Yorkshire club.

The 24-year-old joined Leeds United from League Two side Oxford United for a reported fee of £3 million last summer, and played a prominent role under Garry Monk.

Last season, he spent most of the time on the right wing and managed only three goals in 43 Championship games.

Under Thomas Christiansen, he looks a player re-born, having scored four goals in his last two games from central role.

The new Leeds manager has shown willingness in using him as centre forward and it remains to be seen whether he retains the place, following the arrival of Pierre-Michel Lasogga on the deadline day.
