Leeds midfielder Matuesz Klich full of pride now being a Premier League player

Leeds United midfielder Matuesz Klich is full of pride now being a Premier League player.

Poland international Klich impressed in his first season in England's top-flight.

He told the club's website: “My girlfriend told me what you're going to play in Premier League one day and I said this is going to be difficult because I knew I was getting older.

"I was playing in Eredivisie back in the day and also to be fair, I was settled in Holland, I wanted to stay in Holland. I said, Yeah, the Bundesliga and probably Premier League is already gone.

"So I won't make it, then I had the offer from the Championship with Leeds. I was like, oh, this might be my last chance, so I took it and obviously the first season wasn't great, but then Marcelo Bielsa came and the rest is history!"
