Leeds United supporters are sensing that Ian Poveda could end up playing a big role for them next season.

Poveda only joined Leeds in January, and his impact has been limited since he signed.

However, on the glimpses that he has shown, the former Manchester City man has looked extremely bright – and the feeling is that he might just be a hidden gem.

Poveda was only used as a substitute last night as Leeds picked up a 4-0 win over Charlton Athletic, but his showing still caught the eye.

The 20-year-old claimed an assist as he set up Jamie Shackleton’s second goal in two matches.

And Leeds supporters are now sensing that Poveda could have a major role to play for them next term in the Premier League.

Leeds’ victory over Charlton just went on to further highlight how they have been the dominant force in the Championship this term.

Leeds were playing with very little to play for, with their title sealed, but they still were simply too good for Charlton – as they steamrolled Lee Bowyer’s side and condemned them to relegation.
