Michael Skubala couldn’t be happier with the way ‘goal machine’ Sonny Perkins has settled in at Leeds United. Perkins joined the Whites from West Ham United over the summer after making the decision to turn down a professional deal at the London Stadium, much to the disappointment of the London club.
Perkins has wasted no time in showing his talent and potential at Elland Road, though, with six goals coming in his first five outings for the club’s Under-21s. The 18-year-old has scored in every appearance he has made for United, with his latest coming during the Whites’ 6-2 win over Southampton on Friday night.
His goals have seen Leeds establish themselves at the top of the Premier League 2 Division 2 table and Skubala will be keen to see him build on his impressive start in West Yorkshire and fire Leeds back towards the top flight of youth football. The U21s boss knows Perkins well having worked with him on England U18s duty and he’s more than aware of the talent he possesses, particularly in front of goal.
