Leeds United Currently fighting to secure automatic promotion outside Priority At the second moment of questions, after failing to arrive in the Premier League last season.
On Saturday, the Whites extended the gap on the third on eight points with a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion, and 11 matches remained to play in a regular campaign.
Daniel FarkaThe side was great in the championship and are currently sitting on top of the division, but that does not mean that every player in the team fulfilled expectations.
For example, former English internationist Patrick Bamford lasted a frustrating campaign at West Yorkshire and should move it in the summer.
Why should Leeds move from Patrick Bamford
Back in October, Reported a football insider That the attacker plans to find a new club at the end of the season, due to the lack of time of playing at Elland Road of this term.
31-year-old Dud came off the bench for all Ten of his performances In the championship so far, such as Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe preferred in front of him as the only issue nine.
Bamford has also missed The last ten teams with Knee injury And it remains to be seen when it will be available for selection.
Leeds, therefore, should go from an experienced striker in the summer, because Farke was not an front option, and he became responsible through injuries, which would open up the space on the team to enter another player.
Starlet that could replace Patrick Bamphord
Instead of dipping into the transfer market to spend millions of pounds on an external replacement for Bamford, the Whites could promote Harry Gray from the Academy to join the team team.
Farke called a big call in the summer of 2023. When he decided to do the same thing for his brother Archie Gray, who had Yet to make his older bowAnd it is fair to say that the whites hit Jackpot with this call.

As you can see in the table above, Archie has just made a little of the first five youngest players to make his debut for the club, but his brother could make the top five.
Harry Gray doesn’t turn around 17 until October This year, this means that he could still make the first three, although the number one is already out the window, if Farke brings him to the senior set in the summer.
Analyst Ben Mattinson that once claimed he is “more talented” than his brother Archie and described him as a “killer” number nine that “shone” this season at the youth level, which is supported by his return Two goals in four U21 matching and eight goals in 11 U18 games in the last term.
Joe Donnohue journalist recently discovered This Gray was already in the training of the first team and that the 16-year-old ace “creates all the right sounds” behind the scenes, which shows that he attracts the eye in Thorp Arch.
Although there is no need to rush, Farka has already shown that he is ready to throw players at a young age if he believes they are ready, as he did with Archie, and in the middle he could throw himself in the deep end to replace Bamford as the third choice this summer.

Bringing a 16-year-old to the senior side as a help in Piroe and Joseph would also save millions of clubs in the summer, releasing funds that will be used in other positions.
