Leeds’ 49ers owners fighting a losing battle with move to La Liga club ‘on the cards’

“They are both really good left full-backs, and Sam can play on the right side, but he has played in recent years on the left,” Farke said. “I’m happy to have two top options, especially because both have history in terms of injuries.

“In a season with 46 games and two cup competitions, it’s good to have players of good level and experience available. They are also different, and it is good because it makes us a little less predictable.

“Sam can play with different angles in the build-up with his right foot, and he is strong defending. It is good to have those options available, and they have different qualities, which is good for us as a team.”
