Leeds hit the jackpot with “underrated” academy star

Bringing the gifted left-back through the development setup at Thorp Arch

proved to be a brilliant move for the Whites.

Taylor-Burley Championship Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke has shown throughout the season that he is willing to develop young academy players.

Archie Grey, a 17-year-old who was out of position at right-back at the

beginning of the season, won Championship Young Player of the Year on Sunday,

defeating Jordan James of Birmingham and Jonathan Rowe of Norwich City.

Archie Grey has the German boss to thank for having faith in him.

Throughout the season, Daniel Farke, the head coach of Leeds United,

has shown that he is prepared to bring through and nurture young academy

prospects.

Grey owes the German manager this one.

Thorp Arch has produced several gifted gems who have gone on to have

prosperous careers, either at Leeds or outside of Yorkshire. Examples of these individuals are Kalvin Phillips, Jack Clarke, and Lewis Cook.

Charlie Taylor, a left-back who came through the academy and into the first squad,

is one player the club really struck gold with. He plays for Burnley in the Premier League.

Charlie Taylor’s Leeds career in numbers

The left-footed fighter joined Leeds directly out of the youth systems, saving

the club money on a rookie contract. He broke through as a senior in the 2014–15 season.

Following three seasons of loan stints with Bradford, York, Inverness,

and Fleetwood, Taylor was granted an opportunity to play regular football

in the Championship, making 23 league games overall.

Towards the end of the 2016–17 season, Taylor requested not to play against

Wigan due to a contract dispute with the club. Manager Garry Monk implied

that the defender had been “terribly advised all season” and that Taylor would

not sign a contract extension.

How much Leeds received for Charlie Taylor

The Leeds academy graduate’s contract expired in the summer of 2017,

and Burnley, a Premier League team, pounced to sign him in order to improve

their roster.

A tribunal was required to determine the amount of compensation that the

Clarets were had to pay because the 23-year-old was under the age of 24, and the Yorkshire Evening Press revealed that a settlement of up to £7 million was reached.

Given that they have had a reliable servant for more than five years—a journalist named Josh Bunting has called him “underrated”—this suggests that they have fulfilled their financial obligations.

As a result, it appears that everyone involved benefited from the summer 2017 transfer, as Burnley and Taylor have had a great seven years together and

Leeds struck gold with the money they received in exchange for the academy graduate.
