# Leeds: Pundit says Stuart Dallas deserves “big, big money”

**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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134143/Show/Stuart-Dallas) 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*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/agbonlahor-tips-leeds-to-spend-big-big-money-to-seal-dallas-deal/), 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](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-stuart-dallas-set-for-new-deal/):

> “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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134143/Show/Stuart-Dallas) in the league this season, impressive defensive stats considering his contributions on the attacking side.

Dallas has been [hailed](https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/stuart-dallas-hailed-as-underrated-premier-league-star-by-darren-fletcher-after-unbelievable-performance-picked-out-on-match-of-the-day-39567802.html) 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.
