Darko Gyabi is thriving within Leeds United’s Under-21s ranks as he continues to make huge strides in his progression at Elland Road. That’s according to U21s head coach Michael Skubala, who has worked closely with him since joining the Whites in July.
Having completed his £5m switch from Manchester City over the summer, Gyabi is still relatively new to West Yorkshire, but in his four appearances for the youth side, he has made quite the impression. The midfielder marked his Premier League 2 debut for the Whites at Pride Park with a classy showing in a 5-2 win over Derby County, before producing fine performances against Norwich City and Aston Villa.
However, his most eye-catching display to date came last time out against Nottingham Forest as Gyabi scored his first goal, finding the bottom corner from distance, and claimed an assist by setting up Sonny Perkins. Gyabi is expected to be involved once more on Friday night as the young Whites look to continue their unbeaten start to the season by seeing off Southampton in front of more than 9,000 fans at Elland Road and supporters will be keen to get a glimpse of him in action.
