The youngster was signed from West Brom and has represented England and Portugal at youth level.
Sulaiman told the club's website: "A massive positive was Leo because he’s struggled with injuries for so long. He’s been back fit, playing well, and he’s managed to score two goals, so it was a real positive for him.
"He’s played well in the last few games and been unfortunate not to score, so on this occasion when he was able to score two, I think that was arguably one of the most positive things for us to take away."
