Scouted by Everton and RB Leipzig: Leeds must join chase for Championship 20-year-old

One for the future

Renowned as one of the brightest prospects in English football, Brooks was supposed to leave Sheffield United and join Chesterfield as part of the move that saw Ched Evans join the Blades.

However, manager Chris Wilder decided to keep him on side as he could have a part to play in the Yorkshire outfit’s fight against relegation next season.

That faith in him at such a young age is down to his mature quality that has already blossomed despite his lack of experience. Throwing him in at the deep end in the white of Leeds would be of no risk, and could be that unearthed gem that Leeds need to boost their promotion chances.
