Leeds United‘s Sam Byram has garnered high praise from manager Daniel Farke, who likened the versatile player to World Cup winner Philipp Lahm. Despite concerns that such comparisons could “ruin his career,” former West Ham and Celtic striker Frank McAvennie commends Byram’s performance and acknowledges the positive impact on his confidence.
Byram, primarily a right-back, has demonstrated his adaptability by excelling in the left-back position throughout the season, contributing one goal and one assist in 17 appearances. Farke’s “hell of a statement” highlighted Byram’s versatility and ability to perform on both flanks, drawing parallels with Lahm’s illustrious career.
McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, praised the 30-year-old and emphasized the rarity of seeing a full-back excel in their traditional role in the modern game. He pointed out the trend of full-backs evolving into wingers or midfielders, making Byram’s commitment to the defensive position stand out.
The former striker acknowledged Farke’s comparison to Lahm as a significant compliment, even if it comes with concerns about the potential impact on Byram’s career. Despite the risk, McAvennie believes that Byram, who rejoined Leeds United this summer, will take the praise in his stride and use it as motivation to continue performing at a high level.
In a season where Leeds United aims for success, Byram’s consistent performances at left-back have contributed to the team’s overall strength. The recognition from Farke adds a positive narrative to Byram’s journey and reflects the impact he has made in his current role.
As Leeds prepares for their clash against Sunderland, Byram’s form and the manager’s accolades become noteworthy talking points in the ongoing campaign, shaping the narrative of the team’s defensive prowess and individual player achievements.
