The Leeds United gem can’t stop scoring this season.
Leeds United-owned Mallik Wilks made it goal number 15 for the season today.
Wilks, on loan at Doncaster Rovers, starred for the League One side who beat Walsall 3-1 at The Keepmoat Stadium this afternoon.
Rovers enjoyed a fast-and-furious start as Grant McCann’s side found themselves leading 2-0 inside four minutes.
The Leeds attacker, 20, scored the second by galloping down the right-hand flank, cutting inside his marker and curling home with his left foot.
Wilks has now scored more goals than any player in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad this season and here’s how some fans reacted to his latest heroics:
Given that he’s playing on the wing, 15 goals is one hell of a return for a player who is clearly too talented for League One.
He will certainly be heading back to Leeds this summer, but whether he stays with Bielsa’s senior team next term is up for debate. On the one hand, he could get found out big time in the Premier League if United win promotion to the top flight.
On the other hand, Bielsa knows a thing or two about nurturing young players and getting the very best out of them, as we’ve seen with Jack Clarke this season.
