Leeds United youngster Charlie Allen has been labelled as one of the top 20 youngsters in the Premier League by the Guardian.

Allen joined Leeds this summer from Linfield, with the Whites showing great foresight by snapping him up.

Leeds have seemingly been determined to strengthen for the future since their return to the Premier League, with a number of teenaged talents joining them in the build-up to the new season.

And the Guardian suggest that Allen’s arrival could be Leeds’ best capture of all the youngsters they have signed.

They label him as a ‘prodigy’ and say that he is one of the best prospects in England.

Allen already has first-team experience of playing for Linfield despite only being 16, and Leeds will hope that he continues to progress with them.

Allen’s only experience of playing for Leeds has come in their development squads so far, but it is thought it is only a matter of time before he makes his senior debut.
