Bobby Kamwa: Midfielder Signs Two-Year Contract With Leeds United<\/h2>\n

Teenager Extends Leeds United Deal<\/h3>\n

Bobby Kamwa has shown his commitment to Leeds United by signing a new contract with the Whites.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old’s new deal will last for two years, running until the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n

Kamwa has shown huge amounts of development while participating in the youth setup at Thorp Arch.<\/p>\n

Despite missing a large part of the current season through injury, Kamwa has impressed in Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old scored three goals in five appearances in the Professional Development League and the Premier League Cup before the season’s curtailment.<\/p>\n

The Cameroonian, who turns 21 next March, was in strong form prior to the youth season’s suspension.<\/p>\n

Kamwa has been a member of the Leeds United youth setup for a number of years.<\/p>\n

The youngster signed his first professional contract with the Whites in March 2018.<\/p>\n

But that deal has since expired, forcing the Yorkshire side to offer him new terms.<\/p>\n

Since joining as a scholar, Kamwa has rapidly become one of the most highly-regarded players at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Kamwa will have aspirations of following the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Jamie Schackleton, Robbie Gotts and Leif Davis.<\/p>\n

All of them have made strides into Marcelo Bielsa<\/a>‘s side, although Kalvin Phillips is the only one to regular feature for the first-team.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has made 34 Championship<\/a> appearances this term, scoring one goal and adding two assists.<\/p>\n

What Do the Fans Think?<\/h3>\n

Most Whites fans are of the view that Bielsa should offer the youngster a run-out with the first-team.<\/p>\n

While that is unlikely to occur this term, with Leeds currently top of the Championship, the teen could be given the option of a loan move to progress.<\/p>\n

\n

Can he score goals? Does he have a pair of sun glasses for the floodlights<\/p>\n
