Leeds United loanee Cody Drameh shone for Birmingham City in their 3-1 win over West Brom on Friday night.
Drameh was handed a rating of 8.5 by Birmingham Mail for his display at St. Andrews in front of the Sky Sports cameras, as Birmingham picked up a second win in a row.
The 21-year-old had been expected to breakthrough at Leeds this season after successful loan spells at Cardiff City and Luton Town.
However, after a dreadful performance as a substitute at Ipswich Town, Drameh was allowed to leave again, with Birmingham snapping him up on deadline day.
Following a difficult start to life in the West Midlands, Drameh has gone from strength to strength in recent weeks with his performance against West Brom arguably his best yet.
Local media rave over Drameh performance
Drameh provided his second assist in as many matches with an incredible cross for Dion Sanderson to head home and put the Blues in front.
As per the Birmingham Mail, Drameh not only set up the winning goal, but he also helped lock up West Brom dangerman Matt Phillips throughout the game.
They wrote: “Cody Drameh – 8.5. Two assists in two matches for the right-back and this one was an absolute peach. Drameh picked out Sanderson with a delightful right-wing cross for Blues’ second goal. He put in a shift defensively too against Albion dangerman Phillips.”
It is of little surprise to see Drameh doing well again in the Championship but it once again raises the question as to why he has never been able to do it in a Leeds shirt.
Drameh has all but certainly played his last game for Leeds with his contract up at the end of the season, and Birmingham having an option-to-buy at the end of his loan.
Right-back was an area Daniel Farke wanted strengthening in the summer even when Drameh was here, and he will no doubt be counting down the days until Djed Spence is fit again.
