This could be the season Kun Temenuzhkov breaks through at Leeds United.

It is two seasons now since Kun signed for the Whites from Barcelona.

He has played a key role in the academy’s success, helping the under-18s win silverware in his first season, and the under-23s this past year.

Now he is getting the chance to make an impression on the first team.

Kun posted a photo on Instagram showing he has been training with the senior squad.

Kun made his debut for Leeds in the FA Cup in January, coming off the bench in the defeat to QPR.

He now has a chance to show what he can do in pre-season, and he is one of two young strikers gunning for game time along with Ryan Edmondson.

If either, let alone both, could show Marcelo Bielsa they should be in his plans when the season start, it will be an exciting prospect.
