Jamie Shackleton has been playing well for Leeds United in recent weeks.
Ben Parker has spoken highly of Leeds United youngster Jamie Shackleton on LUTV.
The 31-year-old former Leeds left-back has been impressed with the performances of the 19-year-old right-back so far this season, and has hailed his versatality.
Parker told LUTV about Shackleton: “If you ask Shackleton his best position, he will probably say central midfield as well. So he is actually doing it at right-back.”
“He is, for me, a typical Bielsa player,” added Parker. “He can play in two or three different positions, the energy that he shows.”
Promising talent
Shackleton is a very good and promising young defender who has impressed with Leeds whenever he has turned out for the first team.
The 19-year-old has made two starts and six substitute appearances in the Championship for the West Yorkshire outfit so far this season, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.
Challenge for promotion
Leeds are going strong in the Championship and are aiming to finish in the top two of the league table this season.
The West Yorkshire outfit are second in the league table at the moment with 42 points from 21 matches, just a point behind leaders Norwich City.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side will return to action this afternoon when they take on Bolton Wanderers away from home at the University of Bolton Stadium.
