20-vuotias Aapo Halme oli näkyvässä roolissa, kun Leedsin reservijoukkue kukisti maanantaina Southamptonin vastaavan maalein 3-2 Premier League Cupin ottelussa. Halme puski Leedsin U23-joukkueelle yhden maalin ja syötti niin ikään puskemalla toisen.

Myös puolustussuuntaan suomalaisen sanotaan onnistuneen erinomaisesti, ja monet pitivätkin Halmetta ottelun parhaana pelaajana. Halme teki pari viikkoa sitten ensimmäisen maalinsa myös Leedsin edustusjoukkueessa, ja nuorukaisen erikoistilanneosaaminen alkaa nousta arvoonsa.

Lukuisat Leedsin kannattajat odottavatkin Halmeen nousevan Mestaruussarjaaa johtavan edustusjoukkueen avaukseen lauantain sarjaottelussa Rotherhamia vastaan. Fanit näkivät Halmeessa yhtäläisyyksiä edustusjoukkueen toppariin Pontus Janssoniin. 27-vuotias Jansson oli mukana Ruotsin MM-joukkueessa viime kesänä, ja on kantanut maajoukkueessa myös kapteenin nauhaa. Rotherham-ottelussa Jansson on pelikiellossa.

Error on the last tweet, Jansson back for Norwich, KP/Halme available for Rotherham, two potential CB's there.

I do think not playing Halme there is a mistake, every time I see him he's so impressive.

Halme will be perfect for playing Rotherham seen as their main threat will probably be set pieces

I hate to disparage any footballer because there are lots of contributing factors as to why anyone looks good or bad in any given run of matches but in all honesty I never rated Blackman from watching him in the U23s. Casilla looks like an upgrade in every sense. #lufc
