Lee Bowyer ‘could see the potential’ in Leeds wonderkid
Former Leeds United midfielder, Lee Bowyer, has heaped praise on a promising young Whites player - Amari Miller. Miller, 20, has yet to make a first team appearance for Leeds.
Bowyer managed Birmingham from March 2021 to July 2022, with Miller signing for Leeds in June 2021. A one-time England international, Bowyer played for the Whites from 1996 to 2003.
Speaking to TalkSport, Bowyer said on the young man: “When we were fighting to stay in the division, there was a young lad there – Amari Miller. He’s a 17-year-old, under difficult circumstances I still gave him a few minutes here and there.
“I could see the potential he had. That summer we sold him to Leeds, I’d only been there five minutes. They sold him and brought a million into the club, or whatever it was.”
