David Norris does not think Stuart Dallas’ opportunities will be limited despite Junior Firpo’s big-money arrival at Leeds United.
Dallas, who won the Yorkshire club’s player of the year award thanks to an impressive campaign, has already committed his future to Leeds by signing a new three-year contract earlier this summer.
The Northern Ireland international, who joined from Brentford six years ago, played a key role as Marcelo Bielsa led Leeds back into the Premier League for the first time following a 16-year wait.
Will Stuart Dallas feature in all of Leeds' Premier League games again this season?
Yes
No
Dallas went on to feature in all 38 of Leeds’ top-flight fixtures last term, scoring eight goals and registering two assists along the way.
Ten of the 30-year-old’s starts came at left-back and there may have been suggestions that his involvement may decrease following Firpo’s £13million move from Spanish giants Barcelona last month.
However, former Leeds midfielder Norris believes Dallas will remain a key member of Bielsa’s plans in the upcoming campaign.
He exclusively told TIF: “I don’t think he’ll nail down one position because he is the ultimate utility man.
“To be that type of player in the Premier League is quite special. I could see him filling in at central midfield again, left-back if need be or right-wing.
“I don’t think he’ll nail down one place but I still think he’ll play in the majority of the games.”
