A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a video of Jean-Kevin Augustin released by the Whites to show their fans what the new lad can do.
The video includes the Frenchman pulling off a few pieces of sublime skill and, most importantly, goals.
When fully fit who should start for Leeds?
Augustin
Bamford
It seems that Augustin has superb movement as he often finds himself in between defenders to finish off moves.
The footage also shows that the 22-year-old is an adept set-piece taker smashing in one free-kick (0:47) and then a penalty. (1:15)
Almost all of the goals shown are from inside the box and with his right foot, but Augustin seems to know exactly where the net is, and this has excited these Leeds fans.

Wow, looks pacey, can score with both feet, reminds me of a young JFH, the way he strokes the ball… Hope he gets game time.

He can actually hit a ball with power & on target ? This is so refreshing!
I can’t wait for him to get started #MOT

What do we think?
The Whites moved quickly to bring in Augustin, and they supposedly beat a few Premier League clubs to his signature; he has joined on a season-long loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
If the 22-year-old can display that goalscoring instinct that he had at RB Leipzig, then the Whites might have found a striker who can get them promoted.
Augustin, who is valued at £12.6m by Transfermarkt, might take some time to get up and running with Marcelo Bielsa’s tactics and fitness, but as soon as that happens then, Leeds may have found the perfect foil for Patrick Bamford.
