Leeds United favourite Stuart Dallas is worthy of earning a “big, big money” contract, according to former Premier League striker Gabriel Agbonlahor.
The Whites have been superb back in the top-flight this season, with so many individuals standing out for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Illan Meslier has been a model of consistency in goal, Kalvin Phillips has starred in midfield and Raphinha has been a great addition to the attack.
It is Dallas who has arguably been Leeds’ Player of the Year, however, scoring seven goals in the league, including both efforts in the famous 2-1 win away to Manchester City.
Agbonlahor call for Dallas to get big-money deal
Speaking to Football Insider, Agbonlahor heaped praise on Dallas, saying it is only right that he is offered a new big-money contract at Elland Road, which is reportedly in the works:
“If there’s one player in the Premier League who deserves the big, big money of the Premier League it’s Dallas.
“Mr Reliable. He looks like he’s not the sort of player who would down tools when they sign a new contract. He looks like he’ll be exactly the same player.
“I’m sure the club will reward him the way he deserves because he’s been outstanding this season. Again at the weekend, he was outstanding.
“He’s just Mr Reliable. A player that every manager in the league would want because you can play him in so many positions.
“A very good player and a great addition to the league.”
Transfer Tavern take
Dallas has been a priceless performer for Leeds all season, and while others sometimes make headlines before him, he is one of the first names on Bielsa’s team-sheet.
The Northern Ireland international does so much selfless work for the team, highlighted by an average of 2.1 tackles and 1.2 interceptions per game in the league this season, impressive defensive stats considering his contributions on the attacking side.
Dallas has been hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by ex-Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher and a new deal will surely come his way in the coming weeks. Leeds would be mad not to offer him one.
