"Daniel Farke has been in charge at Elland Road since 2023 and led Leeds to promotion to the Premier League at the second time of asking last season. Leeds have made a decent enough start to life back in the top flight after a two-year absence and go into Saturday afternoon's trip to Brighton and Hove Albion sitting 15th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone."
"For young foreign players, I think it's a great time to come to France and play in Ligue 1. Here, many clubs trust young players. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Coaches have no problem playing young players, no problem at all - whereas in England, it's harder to break into the first team because they really see you as a kid at 18, 19, or 20 years old."
Daniel Farke took charge at Elland Road in 2023 and secured promotion to the Premier League on his second attempt. Leeds sit 15th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone. Academy graduate Charlie Cresswell struggled for minutes at Leeds and moved to Toulouse, where he says Ligue 1 clubs are more willing to play young players. Cresswell claims English clubs view 18- to 20-year-olds as kids and make it harder to break into first teams. Counterexamples include Arsenal fielding a 15-year-old and Archie Gray, younger than Cresswell, featuring 52 times under Farke.
