'Primed for stardom' - Leeds United fans convinced Sam Greenwood is heading for big things

Leeds United fans have tipped Sam Greenwood for big things following his hat-trick for the under-23s.

Summer signing Greenwood netted three times against Sunderland under-23s, twice running through to showcase powerful finishes past the goalkeeper and also curling home an impressive free-kick.

After joining from Arsenal in the summer, Leeds fans appear to like what they have seen from the young striker.

Here is how Whites fans reacted to the performance.

It was a performance that frustrated Arsenal fans as much as it delighted the Whites.

Many were left questioning why he departed the Emirates for Elland Road in the summer.

At the time, the 18-year-old said it was due to seeing a set pathway for young players at Leeds.

"I'm absolutely buzzing. I can't wait to get started. It's such a big club, it's exciting times for the club," he told LUTV.

"For me, it seems like it's got such a good pathway for young players to come through. Such an exciting manager and the fans are special."

He added: "Such an exciting time. Arsenal's a great club, I've met some great people along the way, but for me and my career, I think it's the perfect time to come to Leeds and kick on now.

"I started at Sunderland, got the move to Arsenal and now I've come here I feel like I relate to these people.

"Obviously Sunderland is a working-class area, similar to Leeds and I think I'll fit into this kind of environment perfectly. It feels nice to be up north."
