Who is Cody Drameh? We reveal why Marcelo Bielsa has brought teenage star to Leeds United

Here is everything you need to know about the 18-year-old, who had been tracked for a number of years by the Whites' head of emerging talent Craig Dean.

What’s his background?

Drameh graduated from Fulham’s under-18s and was handed his under-23s bow as early as August 2018.

His breakthrough earned him a call-up to England under-18s before a fine 2018-19 was capped off by signing his first professional contract.

It is claimed Drameh had attracted the attention of a number of European clubs – including Manchester City – as well as interest from Leeds in January and now.

While the player did not feature in Fulham’s first-team, Drameh stock has risen significantly over the past year.

In 17 Premier League 2 matches last term, the full-back provided seven assists and also appeared in all three of the Cottagers’ EFL Trophy games - facing League One and Two clubs.

What’s he like as a player?

According to Colossal Sports Management, Drameh is described as an “alung-busting right-back who loves to get forward”.

His style of play has been compared to that of former teammate Ryan Sessegnon, now at Tottenham Hotspur.

The official Fulham website says Drameh is keen on basketball and would have gone into the game if he wasn't a footballer.

How will he fit in at Leeds?

The right-back would be expected to train with the first team, play for the under-23s and eventually push for a place in Bielsa's squad.

Bielsa has shown during his two years at Elland Road that he isn't afraid to give youth a chance, so Drameh would be no different.

His arrival further strengthens Leeds’ youth ranks alongside Joe Gelhardt, who joined from Wigan Athletic earlier this week.
