Ian Poveda has spoken exclusively with LUTV, ahead of the trip to face Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday (5.30pm).
The tricky winger firstly discussed the weekend draw with Arsenal, where he came off the bench and impressed against his former club.
Poveda said: “Overall it was a great team performance, we had loads of chances and we should have finished them.
“We were unlucky, three times hitting the post, but we have to focus on the next game.
“The team is happy with the performance, we didn’t play an ordinary side either, we played Arsenal and they are a big football club.
“It gives us confidence, but I wouldn’t say we lack in that anyway, in every training session we’re always at it and we’re always motivated for the next game.
“This is what everyone wanted with promotion to the Premier League and we’re here, enjoying every second.”
After making his Premier League debut in the 1-0 victory away at Sheffield United, Ian has featured regularly under Marcelo Bielsa since.
The 20-year-old feels he is still learning and spoke about what it is like being at the club.
“I feel like I am happy with my progress,” Poveda told LUTV.
“There has been ups and downs, but I am still working hard, and I am grateful for every opportunity that I get- I just try to give my all for the team.
“When I first came to the club I was surprised with everything, I didn’t think I would be as happy as I am, with the staff, my teammates and especially with the fans.
“It’s not the same playing without the fans, the core of football is the fanbase and without them we’re nothing so we’re hoping the fans can start coming back and supporting us soon.
“They will have a big impact on our game and push us even more.”
The Whites head to Merseyside this weekend, taking on Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton side.
Poveda gave his opinion on the Blues, but insists Leeds will be ready for the challenge at Goodison Park.
“Everton are doing really well,” he said.
“They started off with a bang and they’ve got really important players, like James Rodriguez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Allan and Richarlison, they’re all big, big players and it’s going to be a tough game.
“We know this, but we’re prepared so it will be exciting to watch.”
