...kjører på eg, nysgjerrig på disse nye unge

Liam Balmer in the U18s I think from Liverpool. Represented England U17s at the start of the season. Hitchen called up from a year or two below, who also plays for England. Haywood and Watling I've not heard of. Promising stuff. Winning 2-1 Hitchen Goal. Balmer assist.

Vi er vel vant til at U21-spillerne våre blir sendt ut på lån.

Ikke fullt så vanlig at vi sender U18-spillere ut
Vel har han fått  U21-kamper også men likevel...

U16-spiller, men anyways!!!
16 year-old forward Oliver Bennett bagged 4 goals against Southampton U16s at the weekend.🤯⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Bennett scoring these 4 goals took him to 28 goal involvements for the season.✅

He's certainly got to be one of Leeds United's most promising academy prospects at the moment - yet another unbelievable performance from him in the 5-5 draw with Southampton U16s last week.🤩👏

Will join Leeds in the summer but recently played for Manchester United in their u16s Premier League Shield victory

Alfie Walker confirms exit from Manchester United

Walker has a long history at the club; his father is an employee of Manchester United as the Head of Old Trafford Stadium Tours and Museum.

The youngster is set to join rivals Leeds United, having impressed on a recent trial with the Yorkshire club to earn scholarship terms ahead of next season.

Walker featured for Leeds Under-16s at the weekend and impressed with a goal in a 5-2 win over Liverpool.

A versatile player, Walker is comfortable in the centre of midfield and also as a right-back.

It is the latter position where he has mainly featured for United, including strong performances in United's Under-16s tour of Hong Kong last summer.

The academy graduate will join up with Edward Ibrovic-Fletcher, who recently made the same move.

A Serbian Under-19s international, Ibrovic-Fletcher completed a move to Leeds last month, where he similarly scored on his debut in a 3-2 win over Derby.
