Gruev's having 'fantastic' time at Elland Road

Leeds United star Ilia Gruev has hailed Whites supporters as “fantastic” as he reflected on what has been a largely successful spell at Elland Road.

After spending the majority of his career with Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, Gruev was persuaded to join the Whites during the summer of 2023 but it was not until the second half of the same season that he started to establish himself in the heart of Daniel Farke’s side.

After missing out on promotion into the Premier League with a Championship playoff final defeat against Southampton, Gruev and his Whites teammates made amends last season as they became second-tier champions by seeing off the challenge of Burnley on the final day of the campaign.
