Does Farke have room for youth?
- Published
Jonny Buchan, Adam Pope & Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix have been discussing how Leeds' squad could look next season on the latest episode of Don't Go To Bed Just Yet.
Rix highlighted that towards the end of the Premier League campaign, Daniel Farke's squad looked a bit small, so could the manager look to use youth players for more depth next season?
"With Marcelo Bielsa those two or three extra players came through the youth but we haven't really seen Farke dipping into the youth set up. Obviously there's Harry Gray but he could go out on loan next year," Rix said.
Pope agreed, adding: "The youth is an interesting one. You see Jayden Lienou come onto the bench, being part of the Wales squad but not making his senior debut. Alfie Cresswell also appeared on the bench towards the end of the season.
"Maybe there's something there but I do think the leap is massive. If you're going to say Lienou for Gabriel Gudmundsson, he's going to have to have one heck of summer to get up to that level."
