In the latest episode of BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, the team discussed what summer signing Harry Wilson has added to Daniel Farke's side.

The 29-year-old attacking midfielder has made eight appearances for the Whites so far this campaign and has recorded one goal contribution - an assist in the 6-3 defeat by Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

Host Jonny Buchan asked: "What problem did he solve by joining Leeds? Because one of the problems [last season] was chance creation and that is still a major problem so far this season."

Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix replied: "The basis of signing him was that he was an upgrade on Brenden Aaronson - so wherever Aaronson played last year, that's where Wilson should be playing - and he should in theory be an upgrade.

"But we started the season and a couple of games in we changed, and it's only a small change, but [Ao] Tanaka is basically playing instead of Aaronson. So, he's not an upgrade on Aaronson because Aaronson's not playing and Wilson's not playing.

"At which point there's no place for either Aaronson or Wilson."
