Leeds United have prided themselves on their young talent for some time. The Whites have pushed to recruit some of the best young stars Europe has to offer over the years and they’re currently seeing the benefits of that in the first-team.
The likes of Pascal Struijk, Crysencio Summerville, Sam Greenwood and Joe Gelhardt have played important roles for Jesse Marsch this season while U21s striker Mateo Joseph made his Premier League debut at Spurs last weekend. However, with the January transfer window approaching, the club may have a decision to make on what is best for those youngsters who aren’t getting the first-team minutes they need to progress.
A short-term loan move might be the best option for a number of players in 2023 if they are to continue their progress at Elland Road, picking up regular minutes and testing themselves in senior football.
