Leeds United have been one of the most talked about teams in England so far this season, for their free-flowing football under Marcelo Bielsa, but do they have any talents waiting to make the step up from youth football to 'Bielsa Ball'? 

One of the many standouts on Marcelo Bielsa's footballing CV is indeed his ability to develop young talent and especially spot young players.

In his formative years in coaching in Argentina and Mexico, Bielsa was crazed for his eye for a talent. He would often spend his days travelling the country to scout prospects for his club.

Most notably, Bielsa brought Gabriel Batistuta and Mauricio Pochettino to his club: Newell's Old Boys. If you don't know either of these players, you should. Both went on to have glittering playing careers and will always cite Bielsa as a key figure in that.

But, what about Leeds?

One of the priorities of owner Andrea Radrizzani is to reinvest in the club's Thorp Arch academy, following a dry patch under Massimo Cellino whereby the academy was often overlooked, instead focusing on the short-term and the first team.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is probably the most famed so far this season to hail from the Leeds academy, but there are plenty of other talents that Bielsa may opt to nurture in the near future.

Here, we look at THREE starlets that are ready to take that step up and seriously impact Leeds' promotion push this season...

With the injuries to Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford, Leeds are a bit light up top, leaving room for academy graduate Ryan Edmondson who made his second first-team appearance last weekend against Birmingham City.

The 17-year-old replaced Barry Douglas with twenty minutes to play and looked sharp. The former York City prospect has scored plenty of goals in the youth setup and looks ready to make the step up to the first team.

The young left-back played in the Toulon Tournament in France this summer and penned a new four-year deal at Leeds.

Barry Douglas is proving dislodgeable from the Leeds lineup thus far, but as the games start coming thicker and faster, Tom Pearce will look to break into the first team in the coming months. It is also worth noting he can play centrally, which Bielsa may like, having played in a central defensive role for the youth team a couple of times.

The immensely talented teen has a formidable scoring rate for the youth sides which could see him fast-tracked to the first team, noting the injury crisis in the forward positions.
