Leeds fans demand Ryan Edmondson gets chance against Arsenal
Leeds United travel to Premier League outfit Arsenal on Monday in the FA Cup third round – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have asked for youngster Ryan Edmondson to get a chance.
There are some Whites supporters who want to see the 18-year-old promoted to the senior team for the first time this season.
Edmondson is a highly-rated striker that regularly impresses in the Under-23s side and is tipped for a big future.
The teenager played two first-team games in 2018 off the bench for the Yorkshire giants, but failed to get an opportunity last year and will hope 2020 can be a stepping stone for him,
Marcelo Bielsa’s squad is now short of a forward option following Eddie Nketiah’s return to Arsenal from a loan spell.
That leaves Patrick Bamford as the sole option in attack, while the likes of Tyler Roberts of Jack Harrison could slot into a central role if required.
After a hectic fixture list in the Championship, it would be no surprise to see Bielsa make some rotations to freshen it up in the cup.
But they are travelling to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal and it’s a high-profile game where they will want to impress.
A selection of Leeds supporters on social media believe the cup fixture is the ideal time to throw Edmondson into the team and see what he’s made of.
Here are some Leeds fans on Edmondson:
Two players who I would like to see on Monday night are (in case gets a ban and we need him) Also like to see given a chance to show what he can do

Think Edmondson deserves chance as he is our only actual other realistic striker option. If he is not involved it will confirm Bielsa doesn’t rate.

Imagine we play Edmondson against Arsenal cause we need Paddy for the league so wrap him in cottonwool and he plays class, gets a goal, maybe 2 and does everything we wanted of Eddie when it comes to holdup play etc.

I hope like of Edmondson Gotts Davis Casey Stevens Meslier McCalmont get chance in Cup rest Harrison Klich Bamford for league
— Craig Hewitt (@cjlufc)
not sure if we could get him but tha CF from Birmingham who scored 2 against us can’t spell his name would be a good back up to bamford looked decent but I’d like to have a look at Edmondson stick him in against arsenal
— stephen (@banditsteve123)
Surely Edmondson as got to be involved against Arsenal. Just give Bamford the night off
— Damian Staniforth (@Damo_1983)
My team vs Arsenal would be something like:
Meslier
Ayling Berardi Struijk Douglas
Phillips
Shack(If not, Gotts) Roberts
Stevens Edmondson Alioski.Minimal starters but also a decent sense of familiarity out there. Could also risk leaving Phillips out for Alfie.
