Wales international Roberts joined Leeds from West Brom in January 2018 and made his 100th Whites appearance when starting last weekend's 2-2 draw at home to Brentford.

The 22-year-old's ninth goal in United colours gave United a 27th-minute lead and Whites head coach Bielsa has provided an assessment of the forward's progress at Elland Road after passing the centurion milestone.
