Leeds United predicted to finish 12th by Gabby Agbonlahor
Leeds United have been predicted to finish 12th in the Premier League this season by Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Tap Out Tekkers, the former Aston Villa striker turned pundit revealed that he is expecting the Whites to finish lower than they did last season.
Agbonlahor has had a reputation for saying controversial things about Leeds, and this isn’t the most contentious thing he has said over the past few years.
He said when discussing Aston Villa’s season: “I am thinking 11th, and of course, Leeds United 12th, below Aston Villa.”
Is he having a dig or just having a laugh?
If you watch the full video, you can see that Agbonlahor isn’t really taking the whole thing too seriously, and it does feel as if he is just having a laugh.
However, he probably does also believe that the Whites won’t finish in the top ten or improve on last season, which could happen.
However, Leeds should have the likes of Diego Llorente available for most of the season, and the additions of Dan James and Junior Firpo should prove to be very good signings.
Other teams battling in that top ten area have strengthened, but the Whites have a superb manager in Marcelo Bielsa, and we would be surprised if they didn’t finish above Villa by the end of the campaign.
This all just seems like a bit of fun from Agbonlahor, and we hope any Leeds fan watching doesn’t take it too seriously.
