Leeds United striker’s season has not gone as planned.
Leeds United youngster Ryan Edmondson showed his potential with a hat-trick in pre-season.
Fans were excited about what this season could hold for a youngster who made his first team debut for Leeds at just 16.
But it hasn’t really gone to plan for Edmondson this season, at all.
He has not made a single first team squad, being left out of the Carabao Cup sides, which saw other young players get opportunities.
Leeds have brought in Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah to bolster their forward line, a sign they consider Edmondson not yet ready.
This is why Edmondson needs to try and become Leeds’ own Eddie Nketiah, and leave the club on loan to catch the eye.
It is still possible for Edmondson to join clubs abroad, including in Scotland, or sign for a club in League One or League Two.
A loan deal until January should provide Edmondson with enough time to catch the eye, and leave him better prepared to fight for a place at Leeds.
He might be needed if injury hits, but Bielsa has not given indication he is prepared to use him.
Edmondson needs a new platform to change Bielsa’s mind.
