Plenty of player movement at Elland Road is expected over the next few months following the club’s failure to seal promotion and Profit and Sustainability Rules. Fresh investment from new minority owners Red Bull will help, but chairman Paraag Marathe has already admitted to the YEP that there will be “certain trade-offs” that the club will have to make. New arrivals will also be expected at LS11 in a bid to give boss Daniel Farke the squad he needs to bag promotion at the second attempt. But Leeds have a history of producing fine talent from within and via the club’s Academy. United’s under-18s reached last year’s FA Youth Cup final, suggesting the future at Leeds is extremely bright. Be it from that side or elsewhere, here, we run through eight Leeds youngsters who could potentially shine next season.
7. Archie Gray
Come on, you didn't think we'd leave him out did you? Archie is more or less already a household name after his stellar breakthrough campaign and it's inevitable that a whole host of big clubs will be looking at him this summer. Will Leeds keep hold him? Time will tell but hopefully for Leeds as the sky really is the limit for a player who only turned 18 years old in March. Photo: Ed Sykes
8. Harry Gray
Shush, keep it quiet, but the cat already feels out of the bag with young talent Harry, the 15-year-old England youth international striker and younger brother of Archie. He's not even played for the under-21s yet so it's a case of hold your horses but his talent is obvious and it's hard to know quite how much progress he will make next season. But it was interesting to hear Eddie Gray say in an interview with the BBC back in January that he expected Harry to be joining up with the first team squad fairly soon. Exciting. Photo: George Wood
