Ayling has played a major part in that, regularly featuring as the Argentine’s first-choice right-back.
Here’s how fans have been lauding him on social media…
There was a shout from one supporter that the 28-year-old should be the team’s captain whilst he’s also been described as “immense” and as a “top class performer.”
His month has been pretty solid so this award could well be fully deserved, and that’s something fans have acknowledged below.
Per WhoScored, Ayling recorded 20 tackles, 14 interceptions and four key passes from seven matches – of which, Leeds only lost twice.
The Bielsa favourite was brandished as an “absolute baller” having contributed four goals and four assists in 28 league appearances this season, per Transfermarkt.
This level of form has led to one shout for Ayling to be the Player of the Season as he’s been in “awesome” nick.
