Caleb Ekuban's substitute display for Leeds United against Middlesbrough has been hailed by former White Noel Whelan.
The young striker, who was on loan in Albania last season, has only just returned from a spell on the sidelines with a foot injury.
He was brought on at Elland Road in place of Kemar Roofe in the 79th minute of Leeds' 2-1 win over Boro and Whelan was hugely pleased with what he saw from the young prospect.
Whelan thinks the amount of ground Ekuban covered during his time on the pitch was superb, while he also hailed the hitman's pace.
"His closing down and the pace to him, which I've never seen before, he was unbelievable", Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds.

"The amount of ground he covered in such little time, his pace is phenomenal", he added.
Ekuban, 22, came through the youth ranks at Italian side Chievo Verona, but the Serie A club chose to send him on loan to Albanian outfit Partizani Tirana last term.
He scored goals and impressed in Albania, leading Partizan Tirana wanting to keep him, but it was Leeds who won the race for his signature.
