Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter endured a difficult start to life at Elland Road, branded a transfer dud by some after fewer than 300 Premier League minutes, but the Frenchman’s performances in the Championship suggest his first six months in England could have simply been a false start.
The 21-year-old’s latest goal contribution came on Wednesday night, receiving the ball with his back to goal, turning to dribble at Queens Park Rangers’ defence and finding Crysencio Summerville’s run through the middle with a crisp, precise pass. Cool as you like, the Dutchman obliged with the finish. Rutter’s third assist of the season encapsulated the youngster’s ability in possession, carrying the ball through bodies, going past opponents utilising strength and skill.
The York-born academy graduate has attempted, and been successful with, more dribbles than any player in the Championship this season, whilst his six goal-creating actions for a young and vibrant Black Cats outfit, is on par with Rutter. Four years ago, Leeds gambled that cashing in on Clarke would not harm their promotion aspirations.
