Leeds United will have a decision to make in January when it comes Charlie Cresswell’s immediate future. The Whites are widely believed to have a recall option on the defender, who has spent the first half of the season with Championship outfit Millwall and they could bolster their defensive options by bringing him back to Elland Road to spend the rest of the campaign in the Premier League.
Cresswell seems to have made the most of his loan in south London, making 15 appearances in all competitions under Gary Rowett and establishing himself as one of the best young centre-backs the country has to offer. The 20-year-old has been a threat at the other end of the field, too, bagging four goals, including a brace on his debut and one in the club’s win over Preston North End last time out.
He has been in and out of Rowett’s starting XI and after being left out for a run of four straight games in October, it seemed likely that he would be recalled. However, the centre-back has returned to the fold now and he stands a good chance of keeping his spot when Millwall’s Championship campaign gets up and running once more on December 3.
