Farke: Mood music was perfect for Ramazani

A combination of an improvement in training and Leeds United's Elland Road cauldron told Daniel Farke that the perfect time had arrived for one of his more frustrated stars.

Largie Ramazani has not enjoyed the season that he might have envisaged when things were going according to plan in September and October. Goals against Cardiff City, Norwich City and Watford thrilled the Leeds fanbase and suggested the 24-year-old would be every bit as exciting as they had hoped when he arrived in a £10m summer transfer deal.

But that Watford game ended prematurely due to an ankle injury and Ramazani has started just once in the 34 Championship games since then. The form of Manor Solomon and Dan James has made both men almost permanent starters for Farke and their combined total of 21 goals and 21 assists has backed up the manager's selection preferences.
