Kilgallon admits Leeds fullback Firpo struggling

Former Leeds United defender Matt Kilgallon has failed to be won over by Junior Firpo.

Kilgallon believes Firpo is struggling to adapt to life in the Premier League following his summer move from Barcelona.

"He's struggling at the minute," Kilgallon said on BBC Radio Leeds.

"I think he's come from Barcelona and maybe thought coming to the Premier League with Leeds might be not as hard; it's twice as hard, you've got to give everything.

"You've got to be fit because your team-mates get bored of it very quickly 'oh he's injured again'.

"It is hard to come over from another country and everything, but he's got to be settling in."
