Fresh from his debut season at Leeds United, Joël Piroe has taken Elland Road by storm. With an impressive tally of 12 goals and an assist in 33 appearances, the attacking midfielder has certainly made his mark.
In an exclusive interview with Voetbalzone, the 24-year-old shed light on his decision to join Leeds over Premier League suitors after a stellar campaign with Swansea City, where he netted 20 goals in 45 games. Despite tempting offers from England’s top flight, Piroe was drawn to Leeds for the confidence they instilled in him.
Speaking about his ambitions with Leeds, Piroe expressed his determination to secure a place in the squad and help the team achieve promotion to the Premier League. His passion for the game extends beyond English shores, with dreams of gracing the fields of Spain, inspired by childhood memories of El Clásico showdowns between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
While Spain holds allure, Piroe acknowledges the undeniable strength of the Premier League, setting his sights on proving himself at its highest level. However, the Dutchman hasn’t ruled out a return to Eredivisie football in the future.
With his immediate focus set on thriving in the Premier League with Leeds, Piroe’s journey promises excitement and ambition, with potential detours through Spain and back to his homeland.
