The Leeds United talent made a statement earlier this week.
Ryan Edmondson sent a clear message to Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa earlier in the week.
The 18-year-old striker scored a hat-trick in United’s 5-1 win at Tadcaster Albion on Wednesday evening.
Bielsa was in Australia with the other half of Leeds’ squad, but he will no doubt have been aware of the teenage hitman’s performance.
Here’s what Edmondson posted on Instagram this afternoon and how some fans responded:
vittorianoantoniopalermo: The English Inzaghi
jamie_skeggs: Hat Trick Hero
j98rgo: Smashing it ry 1st team in no time
stephen.flynn1: Well done you are playing great football hope you get a chance wake up management and smell the coffee for gods sake
callumparky08: Yes Ryan you deserve a chance
mikedfd: Hope to see you in first team this season Ryan
Edmondson looked set to be involved quite a bit under the Argentine coach last term after earning a 20-minute cameo in a Championship defeat by Birmingham City last September, though it was to be his last appearance of the season.
He will hope for a lot more senior minutes during the 2019-20 campaign and his treble at Albion will do his cause no harm at all.
The Whites haven’t signed an out-and-out forward this summer, with Patrick Bamford and Kemar Roofe still Bielsa’s only two striking options.
And if it stays like that, it’s definitely a good thing for the young marksman.
