Leeds United have invested heavily into their youth sides in recent seasons since the arrival of Andrea Radrizzani as owner. However, as is with the cut-throat nature of football, not everyone will make it at Elland Road and so they have to move elsewhere to really make their way in the game.
One example of that is goalkeeper Elia Caprile, who departed Leeds permanently during the summer after failing to make a single first team appearance. Caprile returned to his native Italy to join Serie B side Bari and has started every game so far this season as they sit second in the table.
He spent the entirety of last term on loan at Pro Patria, a side currently in the third tier of Italian football. With Illan Meslier a guaranteed pick between the sticks for Leeds, as well as Kristoffer Klaesson and Joel Robles in reserve, Caprile was a long way off first team action in West Yorkshire.
