A number of Leeds United fans appear to believe that the club have something special on their hands in Nohan Kenneh after the youngster featured for 45 minutes as the under-23s thrashed Bolton 5-1 on Monday.

Gjanni Alioski, Jack Clarke and Robbie Gotts all got on the scoresheet, while Eddie Nketiah bagged a brace as the Whites stormed to an emphatic win.

The game also saw Kenneh get 45 minutes under his belt as he replaced Alfie McCalmont in what Leeds fans would be forgiven for describing as the Kalvin Phillips role.

The 16-year-old is arguably one of the most exciting prospects coming through in a Leeds academy that continues to churn out an amazing number of starlets.

And he certainly seemed to live up to expectations on Monday. Kenneh was excellent as he looked to protect the back four. He made a number of challenges and looked to be comfortable on the ball.

It is almost frightening to think that he is just 16. Leeds will be looking to make sure that no-one gets carried away about his potential, but it does appear that he can set his sights on a more prominent role in the under-23s in the near future.

Plenty of Leeds supporters have expressed their excitement about Kenneh on social media. Several have insisted that he looks to be a real find for the Whites, and one insisted that Leeds fans need to remember the name.

Here is what some of the fans made of Kenneh’s display in the impressive win…
