da apostebet： The January transfer window doesn’t really affect youth players moving between clubs on free transfers, but nevertheless, Connor Leak-Blunt announced that he’d signed for Sheffield United on the first day of 2020.
da roleta： It had been reported some weeks ago that the 17-year-old had come to an agreement to terminate his contract at Elland Road, and we now know his destination.

For decades, Leeds United have been the premier football club in God’s country, and despite dropping down to League One in the late 2000s, they were still able to snap up the most promising youngsters in the district.
Players like Fabian Delph and Lewis Cook, who went onto win caps for England, would still come through Leeds’ academy. Despite their poor league standings over the past decade, the Whites still had the pull that the club’s history and facilities had.
However, Leak-Blunt choosing to leave Leeds for Sheffield United may be a sign of a turning tide in Yorkshire football.
The Blades aren’t the first team from that part of the country to become a Premier League outfit in recent years as we’ve seen Huddersfield Town make the step up to the top-flight recently. However, Chris Wilder’s side now look on course to become a mainstay in the first division for years to come.
Indeed, the Bramall Lane outfit sit comfortably in the Premier League’s top half with a boyhood fan LMA Manager of the Year winning boss at the helm.
Wilder’s project at the club is exciting for any rising star to get involved with, and the Blades may have overtaken the Whites in terms of being the most lucrative club in Yorkshire for young footballers.
