Leeds need to get Mallik Wilks involved next season.
Whatever happens with Leeds United in the play-offs, the Whites need to get talented youngster Mallik Wilks involved next season.
Wilks has enjoyed a terrific campaign, scoring 16 goals and providing eight assists on loan at Doncaster.
He has thrived in League One, picking up valuable experience.
With hindsight it’s easy to look back and consider perhaps Leeds should not have loaned him out, and if he could have made the difference to their promotion campaign.
Possibly, but ‘what ifs’ will do Leeds no good at this stage.
Right now Leeds will be getting back a better player than the one they sent out, and the Whites must make sure they build around him.
Wilks must be made a part of Leeds’ first team squad next season. His eye for goal will be a real boost for a team which have struggled to provide a cutting edge.
Wilks can play up front and on the wing and his trickery has made him tough for opponents to handle.
In the Premier League or Championship, the 20-year-old could be a real difference maker.
