Leeds United ace Stuart Dallas has been praised by Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson, who says the Whites man is “absolutely outstanding”.

Since joining from Brentford in 2015, Dallas has made 224 competitive appearances for Leeds, scoring 26 goals and claiming 17 assists.

This season, the 30-year-old has made 32 appearances, all in the Premier League, and has registered seven goals and two assists.

In addition to his talent and attitude, Dallas is also an incredibly versatile footballer who has played on both flanks in attack and defence, as well as all over the midfield.

Against Manchester City, the Northern Irishman put in a superb performance from midfield, scoring a brace for 10-man Leeds en route to a shock 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Merson, casting his eye back to that performance, told Sky Sports (24 April, 2:10pm): “He has been absolutely outstanding this season. He has got better and better.

“He is a real good footballer. I am a big fan of his. I was a big fan of his when he was at Brentford.”

Dallas has been an amazing servant for Leeds over the years, clocking up over 200 competitive appearances and starring for Marcelo Bielsa’s side at the highest level.

The Whites have exceeded expectations this season and, with lieutenants like Dallas in the ranks and Bielsa at the helm, they can kick on next season without a doubt.
