Sol Bamba (central defender)
Sol Bamba’s first dalliance in Leeds United colours came in January 2015, when he signed on a half-season loan from Italian side Palermo in a move that helped galvanise a decidedly shakey Leeds United defence. That season, the 2014/15 campaign, Bamba was something of a revelation Leeds fans begged that he be signed full time by the club.
This season, the 2015/16 campaign, Bamba hasn’t exactly pulled up trees every game and has had some time served on the Leeds bench and out through injury/illness. However, he’s been strong when it matters and Leeds fans will be hoping that he’ll soon return to the pillar of strength he was when he first signed on loan from Palermo.
This season Bamba has put up the following per 90 numbers
- Tackles – 2.6
- Defensive interceptions – 3.7
- Defensive clearances – 6
- Blocks – 1.5
Total defensive actions per 90 – 13.8
- 0.9 losses of possession
- Headed duels – 3.8
- Goals – 4 (total for the season)
Next up is a 71-rated striker with 62 overall pace and 3-Star skill moves
