Davide Somma has given Simon Grayson a major selection headache after the South African striker came off the bench to score twice in Leeds 3-1 victory over npower Championship rivals Millwall. Somma arrived at Elland Road last summer from America's MLS before being sent out on loan to Chesterfield and Lincoln last season to learn his trade.

His nine goals in 14 games helped the Imps to avoid relegation and his cameo against Millwall on his first start for Leeds suggested he can perform regularly in the second tier of English football.

"We decided to bring Davide in on trial, we liked what we saw and offered him a contract," said Leeds boss Grayson.

"He needed to adapt to English football, hence him going to Chesterfield first where he had a bit of a bad time.

"He got injured, missed a penalty and then went to Lincoln where he had a successful time and now we've obviously reaped the rewards.

"Did I know he could he do it at this level? We were unsure but we knew he was a goalscorer and when you watch him in training he's got fantastic feet and is really composed.

"He's still got a lot of things to work on but I'm not going to deny him his plaudits.

"And that competition is what you want. I don't want to be able to pick the same team.

"I want people coming in to make us even stronger and Davide Somma has certainly given me something to think about."
