Leeds’ Ronaldo Vieira celebrates scoring their third goal with Kalvin Phillips and Chris Wood
Leeds United fans have become fairly fed up with watching their best young players leave the club. But luckily they do keep producing them, including the brilliantly named Ronaldo Vieira.
He was handed his debut for Leeds by Steve Evans at the end of last season. In the summer Garry Monk used him regularly and was impressed by the teenager, bringing him into the first-team fold throughout the campaign.
The 18-year-old has played 38 times this season, scoring one goal, in what has been a fantastic season for the youngster.
Since his emergence much has been made about his international choices. Vieira is eligible to play for Guinea-Bissau, Portugal and England.

Leeds fans will undoubtedly want him to play for England and he is now on that pathway. He has been called up to the England provisional squad for the Toulon Tournament this summer.
The midfield general can of course play for England, and in the future go on to play at senior level for a different nation.
Leeds fans however will hope this is the start of an illustrious England career…
