Leeds United manager Daniel Farke now has a real conundrum as to what his strongest midfield partnership is.
Archie Gray and Ethan Ampadu has been the pairing of choice for the majority of the season, starting every game in all competitions alongside one another until the weekend.
With Gray having looked a little jaded at Hull City, Glen Kamara was handed his full Leeds debut on Saturday in the 3-0 win over Watford.
Kamara made the late window switch to Elland Road from Rangers last month and had been handed brief cameos against Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall.
However, Farke finally handed him his first chance to really impress at the weekend and there is little doubt as to whether he took it.
Kamara performance underrated in Leeds weekend win
Kamara could’ve been forgiven for looking a little rusty with this just his second start at either club or international level since June.
He showed no signs of that, though, as he slotted straight into Farke’s side, contributing vastly to arguably Leeds’ best performance of the season.
The 27-year-old was able to complete 46 of his 50 attempted passes, with his tidiness in possession helping to sustain Leeds‘ attacks for almost the entirety of the 90 minutes.
He also completed both of his attempted long balls, losing the ball just six times in total, in what was a heavily underrated debut amid star performances from the likes of Georginio Rutter and Ampadu.
As he continues to play more, Kamara will undoubtedly grow in confidence with his ability to dribble with the ball not really seen on Saturday, but this is a debut he can be very pleased with.
