Andrea Radrizzani can be heard waxing lyrical about promising duo Charlie Cresswell and Joe Gelhardt in the new docuseries 'Academy Dreams: Leeds United'. The owner and chairman features on a couple of occasions throughout the six episodes, which are available to stream now on Amazon Prime and follow the fortunes of those youngsters at Elland Road bidding to work their way through the academy structure and into the first-team.
Radrizzani clearly has a passion to see Leeds’ youth ranks thrive, that much is apparent during his brief appearances on the show, and he also thinks a lot of several of the club’s young stars. The Italian speaks highly of Cresswell, who was the captain of the Under-23s last season and managed to make his Premier League debut under Marcelo Bielsa.
Cresswell has since joined Millwall on a season-long loan deal and isn’t expected to return to Elland Road until next summer, but the centre-back has clearly done enough to catch Radrizzani’s eye.
