Leeds United youngster is enjoying terrific loan spell.
Last season Leeds United splashed out £4 million on striker Tyler Roberts to lure him away from West Bromwich Albion.
Roberts had been impressing out on loan at Walsall, and his exploits there have now been matched by Leeds loanee Mallik Wilks.
Wales international Roberts scored five goals on loan for League One side Walsall in 17 games.
Leeds were impressed enough with what they saw to spend on the forward, who has bounced back from an injury hit start at Elland Road.
Wilks, 19, is the same age as Roberts and he is following a similar path by shining out in League One.
The teenager scored his fifth goal of his loan spell at Doncaster Rovers at the weekend, which have come in 16 appearances.
If Leeds deemed Roberts to be worth £4 million, then there is a case that Wilks is every bit as valuable in the current market.
The Whites could decided in January that Wilks is good enough to improve their squad, as most attackers worth £4 million would be.
Wilks is on course to surpass Roberts’ efforts in League One last season and could even reach double figures by time 2018 finishes.
