Leeds United fans have high hopes for Mallik Wilks.
Leeds United fans on Twitter are urging Marcelo Bielsa to keep Mallik Wilks this summer.
The 20-year-old winger had a brilliant loan spell with Doncaster Rovers last season and almost helped them to Championship promotion, netting 16 goals and setting up 10 across all competitions.
But the short-term future doesn’t look too promising for the Thorp Arch product, amid speculation that Leeds are targeting mainly wide players this summer.
Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel admitted his interest in Wilks on Thursday, but fans of the Elland Road are desperate to see Bielsa keep hold of him and use him next season.
Being involved in 26 goals for Rovers last season is evidence that Wilks is one hell of a prospect and, at 20 years old, he’ll only get so much better.
And with Jack Clarke close to wrapping up a move to Tottenham, keeping hold of Wilks seems logical, even if the Whites are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Jack Harrison on loan.
Still, Bielsa is a wonderous man-manager and one full season under the veteran Argentine could do wonders for the Leeds ace.
