Leeds United: Fans flock to Championship tweet about Pablo Hernandez

Loads of Leeds United fans have drooled over Pablo Hernandez after the Championship shared a remarkable statistic about the midfielder.

The league’s official Twitter account tweeted that since the start of the 2017/18 season, Hernandez has created 26 assists in the English second division, the most out of all of his closest rivals in that period up until now.

Ever since he first arrived at Elland Road on loan from Stars League side Al Arabi, the Spaniard has become a firm fan-favourite, scoring 6 goals and producing 6 assists for Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites this season, taking 2.3 shots per game, averaging 2.3 key passes, and successfully completing at least 1.1 dribbles on average (via WhoScored). His current market value is estimated at just £1.08m according to Transfermarkt.

Hernandez has played for a number of clubs throughout his long career so far, including the likes of Valencia, Getafe, and Swansea City. The 35-year-old also won 4 caps and netted one goal for his national team (Transfermarkt).

Despite the fact he is surely heading towards the twilight of his career, the veteran has shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and supporters will be delighted to find out his contract still has two years left on the original agreement.

Unsurprisingly, many Peacocks have been praising the latest revelation online, with one fan exclaiming “what a player.”
