Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch's private talks with Darko Gyabi have helped the teenager understand how he can make it to the first team.

The 18-year-old arrived from Manchester City in the summer, and is incredibly ambitious.

He is determined to make it impossible for Marsch to keep him in the Under-21s, given his performances in training.

"It's been good [working under Marsch]," Gyabi stated per Leeds Live.

“I'm learning a lot off the ball, on the ball, the way he wants the team to play."

“We have individual meetings," added Gyabi.

“He's spoken to me about the areas I can keep improving and the areas I'm good at, but can make even better."

“Defensively: being aware of the players around me, trying to win the balls, trying to set up attacks," he finished.

“On the ball: playing into the 10s, moving forward with the ball."
