Former winger and caretaker manager Eddie Gray is hopeful that Adryan can provide "a touch of flair" to the Leeds United attack.

The 20-year-old, who joined the Championship outfit on a season-long loan deal from Flamengo in August, made his first appearance of the season as a substitute during last Friday's 2-1 defeat away at Rotherham United.

His display received plenty of plaudits and Gray has expressed his eagerness for the Brazil youth international to continue to have a telling impact on the team over the coming months.

"Obviously Adryan came on as a sub at Rotherham but I still don't know much about him. Coming on as a sub is a bit different to starting games, but having said that, if the boy is good enough then he should get an opportunity," Gray wrote in the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"Hopefully he will progress and give us that something that we've been missing this season – a touch of flair in the final third of the field."

The playmaker recently revealed his desire to return to his parent club next summer.
