Kun Temenuzhkov is one of Leeds United Under-23’s best players.

It looks like Kun Temenuzhkov has seen his Leeds United form rewarded with a call-up to Bulgaria’s Under-21 side.

The former Barcelona youth has enjoyed another prolific season with Leeds’ Under-23s.

The Bulgarian youth side plays Israel in a friendly on Monday and it looks like the Whites youngster may be involved.

Here’s what he posted on Twitter:

Temenuzhkov is one of the many players signed by Victor Orta to play Under-23 football in the summer of 2017, but it’s time to make the step up.

He is older than both Jamie Shackleton and Jack Clarke and, at 19, he should be looking at breaking into Marcelo Bielsa’s first team next term.

It’ll be difficult, especially with Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford as competition, but it needs to be done all the same.

Another year in the Under-23s won’t do much for his development at this stage.
