Leeds United great Eddie Gray believes summer signing Ezgjan Alioski has it in him to add more goals to his game such as Kemar Roofe has done.
Alioski was snapped up by Leeds from Swiss club FC Lugano in July, with the left-sided forward having so far found the back of the net once in seven appearances in all competitions for his new employers.
The 25-year-old scored in the 2-0 Championship win over Nottingham Forest before the ongoing international break; he also has two assists to his name for Leeds.
And Gray, who has been impressed with Alioski’s defensive abilities as well, feels the Macedonia international will be eager to be more productive in front of goal similar to Roofe, with the Englishman scoring four times in just six outings this term.
“He has got the talent to get by people”, Gray said on LUTV.

“He does his job defensively when we lose the ball as well.
“He works up and down the flank whether he plays on the left side or the right.
“I think he can bring a lot to the team. He’s a good kicker of the ball as well.
“He gets himself in good areas and gets the ball into the box.
“He will be another one like Kemar Roofe I think.
“He will be looking to score goals as well and will be willing to contribute to the output.
“And I think he has got it in his make-up to do that.”
Alioski, who has thus far clocked up 466 minutes for Leeds, scored 20 times and set up 16 goals in 54 games for his former club FC Lugano.
