Ritchie still believes the former Kalmar star will take time to adjust to English football, but already he can see a bit of a spark in the player’s game.
“Marcus Antonsson looks quite lively. He looks as though he has got a bit of a buzz about him and he will take time to get into the Championship coming from where he has come from,” said Ritchie on Leeds United’s summer signing.
Marcus Antonsson joined Leeds United in June from Allsvenskan side Kalmar. The Swede signed a three-year deal with Leeds United for a fee in the region of £2m.
