Anton Stach has been a revelation this season
The injury could see the midfielder miss the final game of the season, but Stach’s contribution to this team must be acknowledged. He has been a fantastic signing and one of the best players this season.
Stach adjusted quickly to the Premier League, faster than many would have expected. With him in the middle of the park, this Leeds United side tick. His dynamism and ball winning have been key.
And his ability to drive the ball forward, and his set pieces have also been a huge part of the team’s success this campaign. The 49ers must sign more players like him this summer if the club wants to achieve success.
