Leeds United haven't seen Jean-Matteo Bahoya at his best this season so far.

The Whites signed the France Under-21 international on an initial loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, with a conditional obligation to buy.

Daniel Farke has been reluctant to throw the winger straight into the Premier League and he only made his debut as a last-minute substitute against Crystal Palace.

Bahoya has yet to show the Elland Road faithful what he's capable of, but his rating on FC 27 may offer a glimpse of the sort of player he is.

The 21-year-old's dribbling and pace are two of his strongest assets, with his overall rating at 76.

While the attacker's in-game attributes don't necessarily mean he'll burst onto the scene in LS11, fans may have one thing to look forward to.

How fast is Leeds United summer signing Jean-Matteo Bahoya in FC 27?

Farke is being careful with Bahoya and doesn't want to throw him into the deep end immediately.

The young attacker will surely need time to settle into the Premier League and the German manager is making sure there isn't unnecessary pressure on him.

When the winger starts to feature regularly for the Whites, he could be a real asset on the counter.

In FC 27, only the likes of Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe and Barcelona's Karim Adeyemi are faster than Bahoya.

The West Yorkshire outfit's summer signing is the joint-fastest player alongside Liverpool duo Jeremie Frimpong and Victor Munoz, and Anthony Elanga, who have 94 pace.

Supporters in LS11 will surely be in for a treat if the French youngster can match up to his attributes in the game.

How Daniel Farke could experiment with starting lineup at Elland Road

Farke has found massive success at Leeds since moving to a 5-3-2 formation.

The change in system has made the Whites defensively resolute and the German manager is also starting to get the best out of the attackers this season.

Improvements could still be made at Elland Road, as the 0-0 draw with Palace showed.

The West Yorkshire outfit couldn't progress the ball forward and were pinned back by Pierre Sage's team.

Farke should have made tactical changes early on and moved to a 4-3-3 formation, which could've been the perfect opportunity to test Bahoya's ball-carrying ability.

In the Frankfurt loanee, the German manager has someone who can be influential in games with his speed and dribbling.
