What impact will Jean-Kévin Augustin make after signing for Leeds United?


Leeds have bolstered their forward line with the loan capture of Jean-Kevin Augustin from RB Leipzig.

The France Under-21 international, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Monaco, is Leeds' third signing during the January transfer window.

Leeds also hold the option to make the deal permanent, although that will depend upon securing promotion back to the Premier League.

Augustin progressed through PSG's youth system, making his first-team debut in April 2015, before making the switch to German outfit Leipzig for £11million in July 2017.

He scored 20 goals in 67 appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga club, those coming across the the German top-flight, Europa League and Champions League among other cup competitions.

But what impact could he make at Leeds this season? Tom Carnduff analyses the statistics from his last regular campaign of football in 2017/18 and compares them with Patrick Bamford - Leeds' current first-choice striker.
