Leeds United-owned Mallik Wilks impressed on loan again yesterday.
Some Leeds United fans on Twitter are calling for Mallik Wilks to be recalled.
The 20-year-old winger has seven goals and four assists in 25 League One outings for Doncaster this season.
The Leeds’ academy graduate scored his seventh of the season on Saturday as Rovers beat Gillingham 3-1.
One reason why Wilks isn’t among Marcelo Bielsa’s squad at Elland Road this season may be the addition of Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison, who is a similar player.
But the 22-year-old has struggled to make a huge impact with Leeds this season, and was taken off at half time by Bielsa in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat by Hull City.
It doesn’t look all that promising for his short-term future in West Yorkshire, and some United fans would like to one of their own recalled and given game time instead.
Doncaster Free Press reported on Saturday that Rovers and Leeds have a ‘tentative agreement’ for Wilks to remain at the League One side.
It’s probably better for the youngster’s development, to be honest. Unless he’s going to play every week under Bielsa, which he isn’t, then it’s a lot more beneficial to give him regular football in a lesser division than it is for him to play Under-23 football.
