Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to express concern about the calibre of summer signing Jay-Roy Grot.

Grot arrived at Elland Road last month after signing from Dutch club NEC for an initial £750,000 in a deal that could rise to £1.5million.

The 19-year-old is one of four strikers jostling for the centre-forward spot in the Leeds starting XI along with main man Pierre-Michel Lasogga and fellow summer arrivals Pawel Cibicki and Caleb Ekuban.

Grot is yet to score for his new club from six appearances, although five of those have been as a substitute.

However, he did provide a smart lay-off for Kemar Roofe to score Leeds’ only goal in their 3-1 defeat to Cardiff City on Tuesday night.

Leeds fans are concerned whether the Dutch teenager has the touch and technical quality to match his power and athleticism, with many claiming on social media that he does not looking ready to play for their first team.
