Leeds United starlet Morten Spencer took to Twitter to express his delight after helping the club’s under-16s to a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with the summer signing bagging two goals.
Spencer is one of the many academy prospects that the Elland Road faithful appear to be keeping a close eye on. He arrived earlier in the year and was immediately earmarked as a talent the Whites could be excited about.

The Sun had reported in February that Manchester City had been closing in on a deal for the midfielder, who had been in Sunderland’s ranks. Around a month later however, he was joining Leeds from the Black Cats.
And the 15-year-old is continuing to make a big impression for the Championship leaders. The teenager scored twice at the weekend as Leeds’s youngsters claimed a win over Forest.

And after the win away from home, Spencer took to social media to comment on the victory and his brace…
Very good 3-1 win v Nottingham forest yesterday, good to get 2 goals! @leedsutdacademy @LUFC

It is likely to be some time before Spencer is really emerging onto Marcelo Bielsa’s radar. But his progress certainly suggests that Leeds produced a coup getting him from Sunderland, especially with Manchester City reportedly lurking.
He may well be targeting a regular spot with the under-18s before too long. And perhaps he should also set his sights on getting a chance with Carlos Corberan’s under-23s at some stage in the future.
