Leeds United’s U23s have been unbelievable this season, winning their PL2 group at a canter, so as you can imagine, a few of their star players may soon get a first-team opportunity.

Two players who have seriously caught the eye for Mark Jackson’s side this season are Cody Drameh and Crysencio Summerville, and that’s a very exciting prospect for the Whites.

Drameh and Summerville both play down the same side, with Drameh acting as the full-back, while Summerville plays further forward.

Leeds’ right-side pairing of Luke Ayling and Raphinha have been unbelievable this season, but they may have one of the brightest duos in the country coming through in the shape of Drameh and Summerville.

Leeds reportedly see Drameh as Luke Ayling’s long-term successor, so that tells you all you need to know about how good he is, while he’s also earnt lots of plaudits from fans this season.

Summerville is another incredibly exciting youngster, he’s already played first-team football in the Eredivisie, while his style of play has also been compared to Raheem Sterling.

With Summerville being compared to Sterling and Drameh being compared to former Fulham teammate Ryan Sessegnon, you can see just why these two could form a deadly duo.

They’re both speedy players with a lot of energy, and while it will take a lot to usurp either Raphinha or Ayling from the first-team, if Summerville and Drameh keep this up, it may not be long before they’re given a chance.

We’re yet to see them play under Marcelo Bielsa, but if, like many other players, they go up another gear under the Argentine, they could be one of the brightest duos in the country.
