Leeds have too many players out on loan for Daniel Farke to keep track of, but there are some that he will be keeping more of an eye on than others, given the need for senior development.
Sonny Perkins falls into that category, having left the club for Oxford United for the 23/24 season, aiming to make the most of a season in the third tier.
Perkins’ time with Oxford wasn’t going well at all, despite the U’s being in the automatic places after 15 games, as he has just three Manning’s winning form had the side in a position where changes were never likely in the league.
While their replacement might have plans to keep a winning side untouched after picking up three points against Lincoln City last time out in League One, Perkins will be seeing this change as the potential start to his season.
The new manager coming in has a fresh pair of eyes, and the 19-year-old ought to be aiming to impress in training, hopefully just to get called back into the squad for this weekend.
A fresh start is no doubt a blow to the U’s as they aim for minutes in League One under his belt.
He has two starts to his name in the EFL Trophy against MK Dons and Chelsea, but Liaed for promotion, but Perkins will see this as a huge opening for him.
He’s already showing he’s got the quality necessary to start, scoring his first goal for the club against Chelsea under-21s on Tuesday night.
