During pre-season, Leeds United youngster Samuel Amissah did his best to get Garry Monk’s attention by scoring for the club’s under-18s and, just a few days later, for the under-21s.

At just 16, the future already looks bright for the first-year scholar and he is continuing his development by featuring for Leeds’ under-23s.

As if a substitute appearance against Bolton Wanderers earlier this week was not enough, Amissah found the net with a long-range stunner that made it 3-3 on the night.

Leeds ultimately won the match 4-3 and Amissah will not forget the game in a hurry. On this evidence he is certainly not going to rest on his pre-season performances, instead making his mark whenever he gets the chance to do so.

It would be foolish to expect too much too soon of the youngster, yet when you are finding the net at a range of different age groups with such confidence, fans will not help but feel on this occasion the club have got the real deal.
