Leeds United Falke said in an interview with the media that the team's signing of free agent Lewin is a worthy bet. Lewin, 28, has suffered injuries in recent seasons and ended his nine-year career at Everton as a free agent this summer and signed a three-year contract with Leeds United on Friday.

Lewin's debut at Leeds United happened to be against Everton. Before the game, Leeds United coach Falk said: "We are honest and honest. There will always be certain risks when signing players who have experienced difficult seasons and are suffering from injuries. Questions and doubts always exist. But the other side of the fact is that if Lewin was at the peak last season, he would not have entered our signing vision. He would not be a free agent, nor would he be a player that a new team can afford, so you have to weigh the risks and rewards."
