Greenwood’s emergence continues
Sam Greenwood has always felt like the immensely talented England youth international on Leeds United’s books, who has gone without the column inches he deserves because of the impression made by his good friend Joe Gelhardt. The Gelhardt hype has been easy to get carried away with for good reason, but it’s taken the limelight away from the successes Greenwood has had with the under-23s as well as the national team.
Marcelo Bielsa was not afraid of using the 20-year-old and even gave him his full debut in that FA Cup loss at West Ham United when injuries were cutting deepest in that department. However, the ramp-up in Greenwood’s exposure has been noticeable through the language Jesse Marsch has been using about the former Arsenal youth.
