While Leeds United are firing on all cylinders in the Championship title race, one of their youngsters out on loan is actually doing exactly that. Marcelo Bielsa’s side made it five victories from as many matches at the weekend after defeating local rivals Huddersfield Town 2-0 in the west Yorkshire derby, meaning they overtook league leaders West Brom to regain the top spot. Meanwhile, over in the Netherlands, winger Jay-Roy Grot scored a wonderful solo goal for his temporary club Vitesse as they defeated FC Twente on Saturday afternoon. He posted the strike on social media. ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/3mPRMHnYcH — jayroygrot (@jayroy_grot) March 8, 2020 And as a result, fans have been responding in their droves with many tipping the 21-year-old for big things upon his return to Elland Road.

WATCH LEEDS UNITED VIDEOS WITH STREAMFOOTBALL.TV BELOW He has made only 22 appearances for United since joining in the summer of 2017 and with over a year to run on his current deal, there could yet be a future for him at the club. There have been calls for him to feature in the Premier League next season – provided the Yorkshiremen gain promotion. @LukeRiddell24 will tear it up in the prem — Eoin (@eoin_lufc) March 8, 2020 Be smashing em in the prem next year big lad 👍😜💙💛 — Martyn💙💛 (@badmart76) March 8, 2020 Tearing up the prem with this guy leading the line ⚽️⚽️⚽️ https://t.co/ECe9ageYXF — Dan Richardson (@dannyrich_co) March 8, 2020 Others talked up Bielsa’s managerial ability and how he could be integral to the Dutchman’s possible transformation into a first-team star. One fan suggested he needed a pre-season while another believed he would suit the Argentine’s system. A further member of the Whites crowd claimed that Bielsa “could do wonders” with the winger if he hands him an opportunity next season.
