da fezbet： Leeds fans do not think Caleb Ekuban is good enough for the club, after the striker revealed all on his injuries and goal drought.
da leao： Ekuban moved to Elland Road last summer from Italian side Chievo Verona. The 23 year-old had enjoyed an extremely successful loan spell at Albanian side Partizani Tirana, where he had grabbed 17 goals in league games.
The Ghanaian striker had high hopes when he joined Leeds, but told the Yorkshire Evening Post injuries “killed” his first year at the club.
“It’s been tough but it’s all about learning and growing up. I had a couple of injuries that, let’s say, killed the season for me personally, but now I’m back and I’m trying to find my rhythm,” Ekuban said.

“I’ve had quite a lot of opportunities to play and I just hope to get the momentum going.”
The 23-year-old miss the first part of the season with a foot injury, only to break his foot almost immediately on his return to action. He returned once again in the 2-1 defeat at Sheffield Untied in February, but has failed to really cement a place since then.
“The more you play as a striker the more you feel confidence. That’s what I’m searching for and, hopefully, I can score one or two goals and have more confidence in myself. I just need to read situations better and have the chance to score.”
There’s no doubt the striker will be struggling for confidence, having started just six leagues games so far for Leeds, and still without a league goal. He nearly found the net against Reading on Saturday, and has vowed to start finding the net for his side.
Leeds fans have been discussing the quotes on Twitter, and unfortunately for Ekuban it seems most have already given up.
