Ipswich Town and Leeds United are currently leading the EFL table with 87 and 86 points respectively. They are determined to get promoted to the Premier League next season. Still, the two club’s stars; Georginio Rutter and Leif Davis are competing for the Championship’s Assist award. Who will emerge victorious when the season ends?
Georginio Rutter’s Stats
Rutter has been in great shape since the season began and is amongst Daniel Farke’s most creative players on the pitch. Yet, the forward struggled to adjust to the Championship after transferring from Hoffenheim.
He made one assist in the 13 games he played in his first season. This was a result of being on the bench most of the time. Some of Leeds’ fans started bashing him, comparing him to Victor Orta.
Even so, Rutter has transformed to be a star in Farke’s squad. He is known for his swift attacks and amazing ability to draw fouls. Besides, the Frenchman easily evades pressure using his stunning dribbling skills and flexibility. These make him a dynamic forward in the Championship.
Rutter’s skill set surpasses that of his teammates, despite being 21 only. He has 15 assists so far and is second on the standings behind Leif Davis
Ipswich Town Star, Davis
Ipswich have entertained their fans with their stellar performances this season. They made a great improvement compared to their previous Championship seasons. Leif Davis is Kieran McKenna’s star. He joined the team in 2023 making 14 assists in his first season.
Davis previously played for AFC Bournemouth and Leeds United before signing with Ipswich Town. Some supporters claimed McKenna’s team last year was ready to compete in the EPL. Still, the club’s manager signed more top players in the last transfer period and increased his squad’s quality.
Reports show that Davis has made 16 assists in 37 matches so far. He easily moves forward and can hold width. Still, the left-back can assist and score in open play and makes wonderful set-piece deliveries.
His abilities make him a key player in McKenna’s line-ups. Rumors claim that Newcastle United, West Ham United, and Nottingham Forest are keenly monitoring Davis. Besides, the Ipswich Town FC star’s current stats will increase his value even if Leeds United emerges as the EFL’s top club.

There are only six more games left in the current Championship season. Therefore, Rutter and Davis have an opportunity to make more assists as their clubs seek an automatic promotion. Still, they need to score goals for their sides to avoid competing in the play-offs.
