Largie Ramazani may have only made one appearance in a Leeds United shirt, but it has not taken him long to fall in love with the place.
Ramazani’s career at Elland Road can finally kick start into place this weekend as the home clash with Burnley begins a run of five matches in three weeks.
Incidentally, it is now exactly three weeks since Ramazani sealed his Leeds move from UD Almeria, but to say his start to life at his new club has been stop-start, would be an understatement.
Ramazani was not signed in time to be in the squad for the win at Sheffield Wednesday, but did manage to get his debut from the bench against Hull City.
However, due to the international break that has followed that victory over the Tigers, Ramazani has not had any time on the training pitch with all of his new teammates yet.
Ramazani shares ‘goosebumps’ moment he’s had at Leeds
Pundit Sam Parkin has tipped Ramazani to be handed his full debut for Leeds against Burnley on Saturday, after being eased into action against Hull City.
Fans are certainly excited to see what the 23-year-old has to offer, with his blistering pace already on show in the brief amount of minutes he has had so far.
But despite not getting the start he may have hoped for last time out, Ramazani has revealed in an interview with BBC Radio Leeds, there is already a moment which has given him ‘goosebumps’ at Elland Road.
Until Mateo Joseph’s goal, Hull City had looked as though they were going to frustrate Leeds in their efforts for three points, and so it was a huge relief when that goal went in.
As such, Ramazani has claimed the noise Leeds supporters made when Joseph’s strike hit the back of the net was something that blew him away.
He said: “I will tell you one thing, I got goosebumps when they scored the first goal, when Mateo scored. I was like this is crazy. I was imagining like if I come on and do score, I will probably go crazy. It was a great feeling, they are so loud and I was like, ‘wow’.”
What are the chances of Ramazani starting for Leeds vs Burnley?
Ramazani is one of only a few players who will have had a full week of training ahead of Burnley, and so should be feeling very fresh heading into the game.
All four of Leeds’ starters in attack against the Tigers have been away with their respective countries, while Dan James’ availability has not yet been confirmed.
Brenden Aaronson is also particularly a doubt, with his second match for USA only finishing in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
With all that in mind, it feels like there is a good chance Ramazani could be handed his first start against the Clarets.
