Daniel Farke said the £4 million Leeds United player has “been growing” in the gym.
Gruev, a £4 million summer acquisition from Werder Bremen, has been forced to bide his time. Before the year ends, there are just two starters. However, after two consecutive league starts, injuries occurred in the midst of the defense.
In victories over Preston and Cardiff City, Gruev has started and played the whole ninety minutes. To give Gruev an opportunity, Ethan Ampadu is filling in for the injured Pascal Struijk on defense.
Gruev, who has been the star of the previous two league games, is grasping it with both hands. Gruev received accolades during the news conference on the club’s YouTube channel on Tuesday. Farke complimented the Leeds player’s work ethic.
In addition to covering more ground than any other player on the field, including teammates and opponents, he is known for his work behind the scenes as the first player in and the last player out. He’s beginning to justify his £4 million price tag.
Nobody travels a greater distance. Excellent on the ball, disciplined, professional, seldom makes mistakes when in possession, and has a strong work ethic. You can assume he is like this off the field if you are like this on it.
From the beginning, you were patient, hardworking, modest, humble, and grounded. The last person out and the first person in. He is among the most professional athletes I have ever worked with, and he has always asked for more work
