Leeds United have a lot of talented young players at their disposal, but as of late they’ve struggled to display that.

Indeed, the Whites’ U23 team made the headlines for all the wrong reasons after being thrashed 7-1 by Derby County’s youth side on Wednesday evening, but one man who managed to avoid the firing line was Mateusz Bogusz.

Bogusz wasn't in the team on Wednesday, and while the other U23s at Leeds were being thrashed the young midfielder may have been reading some high praise he received from one of his teammates.

What’s been said then?

One of the Whites’ most senior players was full of praise for the teenager when speaking at a recent Q&A event at Elland Road (via LeedsLive).

Mateusz Klich started by saying two words, "big future", before then responding with the following:

“I told him already that he’s lucky that he got here at such a young age because he really has a lot of talent, he’s a very humble guy and he wants to learn.

“He’s a good player so I think he’s going to have a good future.”

Exciting

Combining talent with the right attitude is undoubtedly the recipe for success in professional football, and Klich’s quotes should excite every supporter.

We’ve known that Bogusz has a lot of talent for quite some time now, bagging against Western Sydney Wanderers in pre-season for the first team. Since then, his performances for the U23s have seen calls for him to get a chance in competitive action.

However, this is an insight into what the teenager is like as a person, and for Klich to call him ‘very humble’ is a great sign - particularly for someone that's just 18 years of age.

Footballers can have all the talent in the world, but if they don’t apply themselves properly it can amount to nothing, but these quotes from the 29-year-old suggest that his fellow countryman won’t have those problems.

The challenge now is whether he can actually kick on. The Pole has only played once for the senior side in 2019/20, being denied opportunities. Improvement will be needed as the campaign gathers further momentum.
