Recruited as one of England’s best young strikers, Sam Greenwood settled into Leeds United’s under-23 ranks effortlessly and became one of the team’s biggest goal threats. Whether it was from free-kicks or in open play, the former Arsenal forward was a menace for Premier League 2 defences.
The trend continued with his country’s age-group sides, where Greenwood continued to pull on the number nine shirt. Joe Gelhardt, his close friend and team-mate, has proved an excellent strike partner or even rival in some cases.
Leeds have two of the best young forwards in the country and their friendly rivalry has continued to push one another forward. However, there has been a slight shift in the dynamic for one of them.
