For those wondering how some of the Leeds United loanees are doing in the early stages of the season, let us give you an update on Rasmus Kristensen.
The Dane arrived at Elland Road from RB Leipzig last January, but made it clear he didn’t want to stick around after the club’s relegation, so a temporary move to AS Roma was arranged.
Corriere dello Sport bring us some news on how things are going for the Leeds man since his own goal in the first pre-season game he took part in, and it isn’t ideal.
The Italian newspaper explain that José Mourinho is far from satisfied with the performances of his full-backs, and that includes his loanee.
Playing with three centre-backs, he needs them to push forward and provide assists, but with both Zeki Celik Rick Karsdorp potentially getting sold if the right offer comes in, there’s some expectation on the Denmark international.
The problem is, since arriving from Leeds, he ‘does not seem to be in the best condition’, and has had a lacklustre time in Rome to date.
He’s ‘never active’ when it comes to pushing forward and overlapping, with unlikely additions arriving to help out, Mourinho ‘hopes to see more brilliance from his full-backs’ as he would rather not change his formation due to the ‘offensive deficiencies of the two flanks’.
