Caleb Ekuban counting on European experience to excel at Leeds United

Ghanaian forward Caleb Ekuban is counting on his European experience with Partizani Tirana to thrive at Leeds United.

Ekuban, 22, has hit the ground running since he joined the English side from Chievo Verona.

And says he will bang on his experience of playing in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers to aid the Championship side.

“Last year we (Tirana) played against top teams in the Champions League,” Ekuban told The Yorkshire Evening Post.

“We competed well but they were too good.

“I learned something from those games. When you have the ball, you have to secure it in every way and do the same in every position on the pitch. A lost ball can become a goal very quickly.

“That’s what I learned. I need to do the same here because the defenders in the Championship are top defenders. They don’t give you opportunities. I’m trying to learn this.”

He scored 18 goals for Partizani last season.
