Leeds hero Hasselbaink: Bamford hasn't really improved

Leeds United hero Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink insists Patrick Bamford has adjusted little to his game, despite his stunning Premier League form.

Hasselbaink argued that Bamford has changed very little to how he plays football but has instead added a finishing touch to his game that he lacked last season.

"His finishing," Hasselbaink said when asked what Bamford has improved this season.

"Last year, he had lots of chances in every game and it didn't really work out for him.

"His movement and his knowing where to have always been good. He's in the right spot and always on the shoulder of the defenders.

"His movement has always been brilliant, it was that last little bit that he needed and what he's doing absolutely magnificently this year.

"He's very confident. The fans not being here, especially at Leeds, has helped him a little bit to gain his confidence back.

"He's been a very important person for the Leeds team."
