Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has praised Ao Tanaka, the club’s new signing from Fortuna Düsseldorf, for his exceptional fitness and defensive abilities. Tanaka, who joined Leeds late in the summer transfer window, has made two substitute appearances so far, but Robinson believes that once he breaks into the starting eleven, he will be hard to replace.
Robinson highlighted Tanaka’s defensive qualities, suggesting that he could provide valuable cover for Brenden Aaronson, whose defensive work rate and physicality have been criticized. According to Robinson, Tanaka plays deeper and has greater defensive responsibilities, which could make him a key player in Leeds’ lineup going forward. He emphasized that Tanaka’s engine and international experience make him a standout addition, predicting that his presence will bring balance to the team’s midfield.
