Rodrigo explains Leeds target for this season

Leeds United striker Rodrigo Moreno says it's about establishing themselves in the Premier League this season.

Rodrigo is well aware of the history at Elland Road.

He told Marca: "The great objective is to settle back in the Premier. We came from 15 or 16 years in a row in the lower divisions and now we have found a way with the new owner to re-consolidate the club in the elite.

"I would like to finish in the top half of the table. Being rookies, if we ended up there, it would be a successful year."

Rodrigo feels he's improved under manager Marcelo Bielsa.

He added: "Marcelo insists a lot that our game is based on winning the individual duels that take place within the collective game: a striker against a centre-back, for example. And in this little time, I have evolved a lot in that. When a player is not fine, both defensively and offensively, the team notices it."
