Sam Greenwood's FIFA 20 rating explored after completing Leeds United transfer

Leeds United have today completed the signing of Arsenal striker Sam Greenwood, who has put pen to paper on a three-year deal with Marcelo Bielsa's side.

Greenwood, who was also attracting interest from Manchester United, has joined the Whites for what is understood to be a seven-figure fee, with the 18-year-old becoming the club's fifth signing of the summer specifically for the Under-23s squad.

United have already signed former Ajax goalkeeper Dani van den Heuvel, Fulham defender Cody Drameh, Linfield starlet Charlie Allen and Wigan Athletic striker Joe Gelhardrt in preparation for the new campaign.

Overall rating: 57/100

Potential rating: 74/100

Weak Foot: Three stars

Skill Moves: Two stars

Positions: ST

Age: 17 (When you start a new Career Mode save)

Interestingly, Greenwood was first added to FIFA 20 on August 12, but has since been removed from the game as of August 20. However, we can still look at how his profile looked when he was added a few weeks ago, before being removed.

The 18-year-old striker is 6ft 1in tall according to FIFA 20, with the striker's best attributes being in the movement category, with acceleration and sprint speed his two strongest attributes.

His next strongest attributes are penalties, jumping, agility, ball control, stamina and finishing, but as you would expect from such a young player, they are quite low in comparison to the current Leeds United squad.

Greenwood's overall rating of 57 out of 100 on FIFA 20 puts him some way off the current first team squad at Elland Road, but he's not too far behind promising youngsters Alfie McCalmont (60), Pascal Struijk (60), Mateusz Bogusz (61) and Ian Poveda (61), despite being considerably younger.

The striker's potential rating of 74 out of 100 suggests that Greenwood has a significant amount of potential, with the game suggesting that he could become considerably better than Patrick Bamford (72) and not too far off Kalvin Phillips (76).

It's also important to bear in mind that his rating could yet increase even further after joining United, particularly with FIFA 21 due out in October, so expect to see a significant ratings increase when the game is released.

Overall, FIFA 20 suggests that Greenwood is an exciting prospect for Leeds United, with the striker predicted to have a great future in the game.
