Leeds United summer signing Marc Roca has told Marca how much he’s enjoying life at his new club.

The 25-year-old midfielder joined the Whites from Bayern Munich for an initial £10million fee.

Roca has been a regular for Leeds, starting each of his side’s 12 Premier League games so far this term.

The Spaniard is playing in England for the first time in his career, meaning he’s had to adapt to quite a few new things.

Prior to joining Leeds, Roca had only ever played in Spain and Germany.

However, he seems to be adapting well to life in the Premier League and in Yorkshire.

‘I’m very happy here’

Marca asked Roca about how he has adapted to life in England and Leeds during an interview on Wednesday.

“Honestly, I am very happy in Leeds and I like Leeds very much,” he told the newspaper, as translated by Sport Witness.

“When I arrived, everyone told me that the sun doesn’t come out much here, it’s very windy, and today you can see that the day is not particularly sunny.

“But honestly, when my trainer and my children come here, we always talk about California because the sun comes out every day. And it seems that we are living in Barcelona and it’s having some incredible days.

“The truth is that I think it’s also inside me and I’m very happy here and I love Leeds. It’s quite windy in this area here and suddenly it rains and suddenly the sun comes out.

“In the end you always have to carry an umbrella in the car, which is very important, but it’s very nice, the countryside is incredible and when we win the matches, it’s even nicer.”

It’s great to hear that Roca is enjoying life at Leeds and acclimatising well to his new surroundings.

Roca is also doing well on the pitch, helping his side overcome Liverpool last time out.
