Despite this weekend’s Premier League and PL2 fixtures being postponed as a mark of respect for the late Queen, Leeds players have still been permitted to train.
One-to-one technical coaching has become popularised recently as players aim to gain an edge on their teammates and opponents.
Gyabi is one of several youngsters enlisting the help of a private coach away from the training ground, as players – particularly on the fringes of the first-team – are in direct competition with each other.
