Leeds United manager Daniel Farke did his best to keep Jamie Shackleton at the club during this summer’s transfer window.
It seems the 23-year-old’s future was unclear during the summer after he spent last season on loan at Millwall, but Farke was keen for the club not to let him go.
According to The Athletic, Shackleton impressed Farke during pre-season and this led to the club’s new manager personally fighting to keep hold of him.
Leeds fans will now hope Shackleton can finally live up to this potential and become a key player in the LUFC first-team after some slow progress since he first made his debut as a teenager.
