Ronaldo Vieira and Adam Forshaw are two of the best midfielders at Leeds United.
The former Leeds striker has also said that the 19-year-old midfielder can learn from fellow midfielder Adam Forshaw.
The 26-year-old has had injury problems since his move from Championship rivals Middlesbrough in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £4.5 million, but when fully fit, the former Brentford and Wigan Athletic midfielder is one of the best players at Leeds.
Whelan believes that Leeds midfielder Vieira and Forshaw can learn off each other.
“He has got a massive amount of talent,” Whelan told BBC Radio Leeds about Vieira. “He is a great young player who is only going to get better, who is only going to learn more from players around him.
“I am talking about Forshaw as well who has just come back. I think he will be a great example for Vieira, and they can learn off each other.”
Talented footballer
Vieira is a hugely talented player who has done well for Leeds this season and who has a bright future ahead of him.
The England Under-20 international has made 21 starts and five substitute appearances for the West Yorkshire outfit so far this season, proving one assist in the process.
Given that Vieira is only 19 years of age, he can only improve and develop in the coming years, and that can only be good for Leeds.
