"Tanaka was maybe a bit unhappy about not playing regularly in Daniel Farke's side. Anton Stach had nailed down a place in that Leeds midfield, but now his injury has opened the door for Tanaka to come into the side."
"He's really taken that opportunity in the last couple of games, scored in that FA Cup win at West Ham and was outstanding against Man United as well."
"Tanaka wants to be playing regularly and the injury to Stach has given him a chance to play a key role in the run-in for Leeds and to stake a claim for a more regular place."
"Tanaka I believe as long as he's playing he's happy at Leeds, he's enjoying playing in the Premier League, and between now and the end of season, I think he'll get plenty of opportunities."
Leeds United is considering offering Ao Tanaka a new contract to extend his stay at Elland Road. Tanaka had been dissatisfied with his lack of regular playing time under Daniel Farke. However, Anton Stach's injury has provided Tanaka with an opportunity to showcase his skills. He has performed well in recent matches, scoring in the FA Cup and excelling against Manchester United. Tanaka is eager for regular play and is enjoying his time in the Premier League, anticipating more opportunities as the season progresses.
