Adam Underwood has revealed that Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has 'trebled the resources' of the club's academy over the last five years.
In recent years, the Whites have operated on the principle of buying high-quality young players at a cheaper rate, and developing and nurturing their talent at Thorp Arch.
Cody Drameh, Sam Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville are testament of that philosophy, and Leeds will be hopeful that the likes of Leo Hjelde, Lewis Bate, Darko Gyabi, Mateo Joseph and Sonny Perkins can follow suit.
