Leeds United boss Daniel Farke moved to sign one of his – and the club’s – former players during the summer transfer window, as Sam Byram made his return to Elland Road after coming through the academy system as a youngster.
The ex-Norwich City defender arrived on a free transfer and has enjoyed a strong start to his second stint in west Yorkshire under the German head coach.
However, things could have been different if Jesse Marsch had not fumbled an exceptional young talent in Byram’s position ahead of the 2022/23 campaign – Leif Davis.
Leeds reportedly sold the academy graduate to Ipswich Town for a fee just in excess of £1m and that figure is starting to look like a huge bargain for the Tractor Boys.
