Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been tipped to be more prolific than one of his new Leeds United teammates this season.

Calvert-Lewin joined Leeds on a free transfer last week after penning a three-year deal at Elland Road.

“Now, when I watched Leeds on Monday, I thought Tanaka on the wing was brilliant.

“I think if you’ve got him and Dan James and you’ve got Calvert-Lewin in the middle and they’re both supplying through balls for him or crosses for him, I think that’s going to be right up his street, so I think he’s going to help Leeds a lot. 

“I’d tip him to be more prolific than Bamford in his heyday for Leeds, and I think Dominic will do well for Leeds.

“But I think this is a good start for him and I think he will be a key factor in keeping Leeds up.

“I think he will stay fit and as I say, I think the formation that Farke is starting at Leeds, where he played a bit wider on Monday, will suit Calvert-Lewin down to the ground. 

“So yes, I think it’s a positive for Leeds.”

In terms of a potential exit, recruitment expert Mick Brown told Football Insider Illan Meslier is expected to leave Leeds and a deal could happen within days.
