Leeds United star has been named in Wales’ squad again.

Tyler Roberts has been named in Wales’ international squad again and is looking to make an impression.

The Leeds United youngster has been named in Ryan Giggs’ side on several occasions previously, but he is yet to really make his mark.

Roberts has six appearances for Wales, with two of them starts.

The most recent one was a four minute substitute cameo against Croatia.

It summed up his status with Wales, which is a bit like his stint at Leeds so far.

Roberts is a part of the squad and first team picture, but he is yet to really make his mark.

The 20-year-old scored for Leeds at the weekend and it was a sign of what he can do.

Leeds fans are right hoping that the goal against QPR can be a springboard to a regular starring role in the Championship.

Roberts’ international exploits can help his confidence too.

Wales do not have a regular goalscorer leading the line and this opportunity is there for Roberts.

A boost in confidence for his club can benefit him for his country.

And if Roberts can grab his first international goals for Wales in the upcoming fixtures against Azerbaijan and Hungary, then that can in turn be a boost for Leeds too.
