New Leeds United under-21s coach Michael Skubala is confident Sonny Perkins has what it takes to succeed at Elland Road. Perkins completed his switch to West Yorkshire from West Ham United last month after impressing in the Hammers’ youth ranks for several seasons.
Perkins is highly thought of by those at Leeds and he showed why with an eye-catching performance on Friday night for the club’s U21 side against Derby County. Mateo Joseph was Leeds’ standout performer at Pride Park, bagging four goals in a 5-2 victory, but Sonny Perkins grabbed the other for the Whites to mark his first appearance for his new club with a goal.
Skubala knows Perkins well from his time working with England under-18s and he’s keen to see the forward take the next step in his career in a Leeds shirt.
