Daniel Farke got his first glimpse of his Leeds United squad in action on Wednesday as he welcomed his players back onto the Thorp Arch turf. The German manager will have done his homework and he’ll know plenty about the team he has inherited as he prepares for the new season.
He’ll have come across a number of Leeds’ more established and older first-team players before having competed against them for so long while in charge at Norwich City. But, Farke will have no doubt been keeping a keen eye on a number of the players he won’t have seen in person before and that includes host of young players.
Those youngsters will be determined to catch the German’s eye this summer as they look to make the step up and establish themselves within the first-team picture at Elland Road. A handful of them have already seen a degree of first-team action in the past, but they’ll rightly see relegation and the changes expected within the Leeds squad as an opportunity.
