Leeds United fans are praising the Thorp Arch graduate.
Leeds United prospect Mallik Wilks made it into double figures for the season today.
The 20-year-old attacker scored his 10th of the season as loan club Doncaster Rovers drew 1-1 away to Portsmouth.
Wilks, loaned out by Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa again last month, casually slotted home the opener on the half-hour mark for his milestone goal in League One.
Here is how Whites fans reacted to his all-round display:
Wilks will return to Thorp Arch in the summer and it’ll be fascinating to see what the future holds for him at Leeds, who might be a Premier League club by then.
Playing top-flight football may be a big ask for him that soon, but the beauty of having a coach like Bielsa is that he won’t care. The Argentine won’t care about Wilks’s inexperience. If he shows hunger and commitment in pre-season, he could stay with the senior side whatever league they’re in next term, and from there it’s in the youngster’s hands.
Wilks, who came through the youth system at Thorp Arch, made his senior debut for the Whites a little over two years ago.
