Ronaldo Vieira has had a mixed season for Leeds but he is highly rated.
Leeds United midfielder Ronaldo Vieira has been named as one of the 20 most valuable young players in Europe according to a new study.
The CIES Football Observatory’s list takes into account a player’s current market value and future potential, and is also based on first team experience.
The list is made up of Europe’s top under-20 players and is topped by AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Vieira is one of five England based players to make the list, and sits at number 20
Everton’s Tom Davies is at number seven, Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon (10), Manchester United’s Timothy Fosu-Mensah (32) and Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool (41) also feature.
Ronaldo’s season so far
After a breakthrough 2016/17 season, Ronaldo Vieira has found this campaign at Leeds tough going.
He has made 14 starts and three substitute appearances this season and struggled for form.
New manager Paul Heckingbottom’s appointment gives him a fresh start and sooner or later if the teenager really is good enough then he will force his way into the side and show why he is so highly regarded.
