Head coach of English Championship side Thomas Christianssen has hailed the performances of Ghanaian attacker Caleb Ekuban since joining the club.
The Ghanaian has been in top form for the side following his move from Albanian side FK Partizani, where he score 18 times in 42 games.
Ekuban was in sensation form as Leeds United beat Sunderland 2-0 over the weekend but suffered an injury and could not complete the game.
Thomas Christianssen who was speaking after the weekend victory said, “Everyone played a good game,"
"There was a lot of pressure on Caleb Ekuban to replace Chris Wood, but he did it perfectly, he made good runs and kept the ball really well which was good for the team,” he told LUTV.
“We have had a difficult couple of days, but the response was perfect and one that I expected of my team, of which I am very satisfied with the performance of my side.
“The most important thing is getting the three points and keeping a clean sheet is another good thing, it is the third in a row so the team is getting consistent at the back and we also managed to score two nice goals.
"We are planning without Chris Wood now and we are expecting a busy end to the transfer window," he concluded.
Chris Woods, a former striker of the club joined Burnley in the EPL after scoring 44 goals in 88 appearances for Leeds.
Meanwhile, Caleb Ekuban opened his account for the team earlier this month in the 4-1 win against Port Vale in the Carabobo League Cup to the delight of the Whites fans.
The speedy poacher was trusted with a starting spot in the game against Sunderland by manager Thomas Christensen as last season's top scorer Chris Wood looks set to be heading to Premier League outfit Burnley in the coming days.
