Youngster wants to play in the Premier League with Leeds

Leeds youngster Charlie Taylor has recently expressed that it’s his dream to play in the Premier League with the team he's supported since he was a boy.

“Now, to get back up into the Premier League with the club I have supported all my life would be an unbelievable experience and I don’t think anything could really top that in football. We’ve got to put the hard work in from now really to get there.”

The 21-year-old has had successful loan spells in the past but the most notable being with Fleetwood Town last season who won promotion from League 2. Redfearn has said before that he thinks Taylor can play at this level.

Taylor has found himself involved with the first team due to the sale of Stephen Warnock and his performances have been exceptional. It must also be a bonus that he is playing with his past academy teammates in Byram, Mowatt and Cook.

"I’ve known them since I was young and we’ve played in the same age groups all through the years. Now that we’re all playing in the first team together it’s just brilliant and I’m enjoying it.

"Everyone is working hard for each other – there’s no individual players and we’re all team players. It’s getting results now. When anyone scores we are all celebrating together and everyone is just happy for each other and on Saturday Alex’s birthday couldn’t have been any better for him!"

To me its really nice to hear this and also, that he wants to stay at the club and succeed here. The most important thing now is to keep these young players as they have become the core of our side.
