# Leeds: Danny Mills hails ‘outstanding’ Stuart Dallas amid expected new deal

**Danny Mills believes that Stuart Dallas’ rumoured new contract at Leeds United is richly deserved, describing the midfielder as ‘outstanding’.**

The Whites have excelled on their return to the Premier League this season, picking up [some memorable results](https://www.skysports.com/football/manchester-city-vs-leeds-united/429142) and comfortably ensuring safety. A number of individuals have shone for Leeds, but Dallas is arguably a contender in the Player of the Year stakes following an exceptional campaign.

The 30-year-old has shone in various roles, [scoring seven goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134143/Show/Stuart-Dallas) and registering two assists, and a new contract is [rumoured](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-pundit-says-stuart-dallas-deserves-big-big-money/) to be coming his way.

### Dallas contract richly deserved, says Mills

Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/mills-outstanding-dallas-deserves-bumper-new-leeds-deal/), Mills waxed lyrical over Dallas, saying that a new deal would be fully deserved:

> “That’s what football should be. If you do well you get rewarded. You shouldn’t be rewarded for failure, you shouldn’t be rewarded for poor performances.
>
> “He’s been outstanding this season. Good luck to him and he deserves whatever rise he gets.”

### Transfer Tavern take

Dallas is a priceless player for Leeds, not always standing out as a star turn to neutral supporters but doing so much for the team in terms of industry and underrated quality (winning [2.1 tackles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134143/Show/Stuart-Dallas)), as outlined by [his two goals](https://www.skysports.com/football/manchester-city-vs-leeds-united/429142) in the 2-1 win at Manchester City. Indeed, his seven-goal haul in the league is [bettered only by centre-forward Patrick Bamford](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) in Bielsa’s squad.

The 30-year-old isn’t getting any younger, but there is no reason why he can’t be James Milner-esque and stick around in the top flight well into his 30s given [his fitness levels](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/03/18/marcelo-bielsa-could-soon-have-another-stuart-dallas-on-his-hands-at-leeds-united-our-view/).

A new contract is just reward for a superb season, as Dallas continues to go from strength to strength at Elland Road.
