Rather see him given a chance in his natural role
Doesn't give him the best chance to thrive playing out of position same as Gnonto.
I’d agree as it was all a little bit strange to bring him on for 2 mins as a left back and especially as we’d gone to a back four by that stage. Plus we had a specialist left back on the bench.
I’m guessing it was some sort of reward before the international break for a good attitude shown in training etc.

German media reveal details behind the deal.
£25m purchase with a 15% sell on fee should Bahoya make 10 appearances.
The appearances are anything, whether 10 seconds or 90 minutes.
Frankfurt are confident they will see a substantial future windfall as the player is extremely highly rated in football circles so they see a win win.
Either he comes here does well and gets sold at a later date for large money.
Or he goes back and they get to benefit in the future from his performance and eventually sell on for big money
From what I've read, Leeds very much see Bahoya as a long term prospect, given the strategy of building for the future with younger players along the way.
It sounds like, right now, they are planning on buying him - assuming he fits in.
He hasnt played that much football since April, with niggly injuries. So I reckon we will see him gradually get minutes - unless someone else blows up.
I'm excited about him and looking forward to seeing him.
Bahoya, Jean-Mattéo
