Former Leeds boss questions striker’s fitness, says he “runs out of juice”

Former Leeds manager Neil Redfearn believes Pierre-Michel Lasogga has made a decent start to his career in England, but he has questioned the striker’s ability to play a full ninety minutes.

Lasogga joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Hamburg in the summer and he has already made his mark, scoring three goals in five Championship appearances.

The 25-year-old is yet to hit the target away from home and Redfearn says the German striker needs to improve his fitness.

“I quite like him”, Redfearn told Radio Yorkshire.

“He’s more like a domestic type of centre forward, or a player that’s played at domestic level in this country than any of the other overseas signings.
