Greenwood may only be a signing for the club’s youth team, but he’s a highly-rated talent that has represented England on the international stage at youth level and was beginning to make a good impression at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal.
Leeds boss Marceo Bielsa has shown he’s eager to promote young talents into his first-team, with a number of rising stars playing a role last season for him in the club’s title-winning campaign in the Championship to earn promotion.
