How was Tyler Roberts’ time at Leeds?
Tyler Roberts appeared 108 times for Leeds prior to his exit, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists.
The 25-year-old was one of the first names on the teamsheet during the 2018-2019 season as Leeds finished third in the Championship during Bielsa’s first season in charge. He scored three goals and assisted six but the Whites were edged out in the play-offs.
Bielsa grew really impressed with the attacker and the compliments started to fly in.
Alongside his efforts for Leeds, Roberts was also getting recognition on the international stage for Wales.
During Leeds’ promotion-winning season Roberts found himself receiving praise from Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for his cameo against Hull City, but injuries held him back at times and halted his progress.
Regardless, the Whites had secured promotion to the Premier League and Marcelo Bielsa was getting all the plaudits, with Pep Guardiola even congratulating his good friend.
