Leeds United have some very exciting players coming through the ranks.

Former Leeds United defender turned agent Ian Harte recently took to Twitter to praise his young client Jack Clarke.

Urging Whites fans to remember the name, it is clear the teenage striker is highly rated at Elland Road but he is not the only one.

Here we take a look at three more Leeds scholars who could make it all the way to the top:

Thomas Christiansen manager of Leeds United looks on before the Carabao Cup Third Round match between Burnley and Leeds United at Turf Moor on September 19, 2017 in Burnley, England.

Theo Hudson

A player with the potential to be every bit as important to a future Leeds side as Clarke, midfielder Theo Hudson is the real deal.

Like Clarke, the 16-year-old is a first year scholar at Elland Road and he has been impressing at under-16 and under-18 level in recent months.

Samuel Amissah

Samuel Amissah was making waves soon after putting pen to paper at Leeds when he appeared – and scored – for Leeds’ under-23s against Bolton Wanderers in 2016.

The then-16-year-old started the next match against Millwall and, while he still has a long way to go, big things are expected of the forward in time.

Jamie Shackleton

Arguably the pick of the bunch, second year scholar Jamie Shackleton is a brilliant midfielder with everything in his locker to be a future starter for Leeds.

Tipped for big things by former Whites boss Neil Redfearn, the 17-year-old is staking a claim with the second string and could break through in the next couple of years.
