Swedish journalist Olof Lundh says new Leeds United full-back Gabriel Gudmundsson will add an extra dimension to their attack. The Sweden international should slot into the left wing-back role previously held by Junior Firpo after making the £10m switch from Lille and signing a four-year deal at Elland Road. "He is more of a Junior Firpo type of player," Lundh told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
Swedish journalist Olof Lundh says new Leeds United full-back Gabriel Gudmundsson will add an extra dimension to their attack.
The Sweden international should slot into the left wing-back role previously held by Junior Firpo after making the £10m switch from Lille and signing a four-year deal at Elland Road.
"He is more of a Junior Firpo type of player," Lundh told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
"But I don't know if Daniel Farke will go with three central defenders. [If so], then Gabriel Gudmundsson would be a great wing-back. As a full-back, he will have challenges defensively. But he is great offensively.
"In the national team, they've used him as one of three central defenders, as a left central defender.
"His skills are mostly in the offensive part of the game, but he has developed a lot in the French league, which is quite a tough, physical league. He has grown a lot, mentally and become tougher. He has taken on challenges and done really well."
