Arsenal youngster Miguel Azeez has shared his appreciation of Leeds United midfielder Lewis Bate on Instagram.
As you can see below, Arsenal midfielder Azeez, 18, seems to rate Bate very highly.
Bate joined Leeds from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
According to Goal, the West Yorkshire club paid the Blues £1.5 million in transfer fee.
The 18-year-old midfielder reportedly turned down the offer of a new contract from Chelsea to move to Leeds.
As announced on Leeds’s official website in July, the youngster signed a three-year contract, running until the summer of 2024.
The midfielder was in action for the Leeds Under-23 side last night.
The youngster started the match against the Crystal Palace Under-23 side at Selhurst Park in London and played for the entire 90 minutes.
Bate is only 18, and it is clear that he is not the finished article yet.
The former Chelsea prospect will be part of the Leeds Under-23 side for now where he will hope to develop and progress.
If Bate does well for Mark Jackson’s side in the coming weeks and months, then he could get his chance in Marcelo Bielsa’s senior Leeds team.
