The Elland Road hitman is one of the top scorers in the division after notching six goals in his first six league outings of the campaign, including a stunning hat-trick in Friday night’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old also became the first Leeds player to score in each of his side’s opening three away matches in a top flight season since Gordon Hodgson in 1937.
