Mirco Antenucci (striker)
Bearded Italian Mirco Antenucci arrived at Elland Road from Italian side Ternana and was Leeds’ leading scorer in the 2014/15 Championship campaign with 10 goals. So far this season, Antenucci hasn’t hit those heights in what is likely his final season in Leeds United colours, his current contract running out at the end of the 2015/16 campaign.
Antenucci led the scoring at Elland Road last season wit h10 goals, being the only Leeds United player to break in to double figures that season.
He started out this season with a left-footed worldie against Burnley in what was a 1-1 draw at Elland Road. The fan-favourite has started 21 games this season, also appearing 18 times as a substitute, in what is likely to be a farewell to Leeds United fans.
This season Mirco Antenucci has put up the following per 90 numbers
- Shots – 2.9 (1.6 penalty area/1.2 out of box/0.1 6-yard box)
- Headed duels – 0.3
- 25.1 pass attempts
- 20.1 accurate passes (19.4 ‘short’ passes, 0.2 ‘long balls’)
- 1 key passes (shooting attempts for teammates)
- 9 goals in total
- 4 assists
Next up is a solid 70-rated right-back who has bled for the Leeds United cause.
