Leeds United youth star's father confident son can achieve where he failed at Elland Road

Former Leeds United midfielder Sebastien Carole believes his son Keenan is capable of achieving what he never did at Elland Road. Keenan signed his first professional deal at Leeds earlier this month after some impressive performances in the Under-18s side last season.

The 17-year-old put pen-to-paper on a two year contract with the Whites as he aims to continue his surge towards the club’s first team in the coming seasons. His Dad Sebastien spent two years at Leeds between 2006 and 2008 but struggled to ever really assert himself.

He scored three goals in 52 appearances before his release and speaking to French outlet Nice-Matin, he claimed he never had the work rate to succeed at a club like Leeds. Sebastian believes his son is the complete opposite to him, though, and is hopeful Keenan can achieve great things in West Yorkshire.
