Kalvin Phillips has waxed lyrical about Leif’s Leif Davis de Leeds United and put it on par with Stuart Dallas, Liam Cooper and Jack Harrison, if he made some small changes. However, there is another candidate hidden at first glance that, in the opinion of Kalvin Phillips, it would be one of the best club players with some adjustments.
Leif Davis, twenty years old, would be between the best backs, the backs and the club’s eaves, if he could “settle” and “screw his head” into Phillips’ words. Davis arrived with very little fanfare in the same summer as Bielsa, explored and picked up from the League two Morecambe.
Despite being 18, Davis will actually make his full targets debut within six months of arrival, entering the tenth hour for an evil Barry Douglas in Aston Villa. That was the first sign of Bielsa’s confidence in the adolescent, who was one of some taken from minors of 23 and promoted.
Naturally, appearances have been sporadic since then, since the United Level has competed with senior options such as Douglas, Stuart Dallas and Ezgjan Aliiki, ahead of Davis.
