Leeds United Chief Executive Officer Angus Kinnear has claimed that the Whites' academy can be a 'pipeline of world class potential for many years to come'. Leeds have invested heavily on their training ground over the past few seasons and the Whites' youth team have since improved.
The club's Under 23s side recorded an impressive 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Monday night, with Crysencio Summerville scoring a hat-trick and Stuart McKinstry netting the other. It was an impressive performance from the Whites, who moved up to 10th place in Premier League 2 Division 1 in the meantime.
For the first time in many years, Leeds are currently competing against the best academies on a weekly basis, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all in the same division this season. This was after the Whites won promotion to the top-tier last term, strolling to the league title.
