Don’t miss the Premier League white promotion: warn for loose updates
The rise to the Premier League and the confirmation of a Category 1 academy at Thorp Arch have noted that Leeds United intensified his quest for young skill this summer.
Joe Gelhardt, Cody Drameh, Charlie Allen and Dani van den Heuve have already made the summer this summer, with Arsenal striker Sam Greenwood being the newest to be linked to a move to Elland Road.
Limited to under-18 in England, Greenwood has several clubs vying for his signing, and Leeds is expected to lead.
But what kind of player would Leeds get if he could get the 18-year-old?
We asked Arsenal’s Art de Roché on our sister football.london online page for his prospects for the promising youngster.
Sam Greenwood is primarily a striker, but has also played on both flanks since joining Arsenal in 2018. He is an incredibly blank striker of the ball, whether in open play or dead ball, haggling comfortably with the ball to more central areas.
Your body is lightweight, so facing off at more powerful center/side backs can bring your challenges. In Arsenal U23’s 4-3 win over Monaco in the International Premier League Cup last season, he demonstrated that he can adapt to more physical war games across drifting on the field to find a larger space wallet, but his strength would be the main area. to improve.
Overall, Greenwood has made smart progress since joining Arsenal from Sunderland. In his first season [2018/19], he scored 10 goals and provided five assists in the Premier League Under-18. Last season, he spent the first part of the year most often with under-18s, but began receiving normal calls from under-23s in January, but his participation was halted through the pandemic. He scored his first under-23 goal opposite Derthrough County, then scored a kick-off for the under-18s opposed to Chelsea the next day.
Greenwood is highly sought after for his under-23 record on the 2019/20 shows. Before next season, you may have scored minutes more consistent with Steve Bould’s team.
The attitude of the 18-year-old was good. He admitted that it was “intimidating” to leave his hometown to sign for Arsenal, but there were no real unrest as he settled temporarily and was in a position to make his way into the under-18 and under-23 teams.

Currently it would have been quite distant, but that is not an inconvenience to its quality. As things stand, Arsenal has Eddie Nketiah challenging Alexandre Lacazette in the first team, tyreece John-Jules is expected to be loaned to the league next season after a season at Lincoln City last season, then is Folarin Balogun, another highly sought-after striker. who can leave because he’s the previous couple in the order.
As a player who had just joined the under-23 team before the blockade, it would have taken Greenwood some time to be part of the first team. As things stand, seeing how he plays in under-23 football would be the best and, if he’s comfortable in January, a look can give good results.
