Harvey Vincent can no longer be ignored after new announcement on Leeds United rising star
Harvey Vincent could be involved in the Leeds United first-team picture sooner rather than later.
The 19-year-old has been tearing it up for Leeds at age-grade level of late.
Vincent signed professional terms with Leeds last summer and has been quietly going about his business at Thorp Arch.
But there is only so long a player of the England Under-16s' quality can stay under the radar.
After a superb month for the Under-21s, Daniel Farke will not be able to ignore him for much longer.
Especially following a new announcement made on Friday morning.
Harvey Vincent up for Premier League 2 award
Vincent scored one goal and registered three assists for Leeds in the Premier League 2 competition in September.
Two of those assists were provided by Vincent in the recent win over Newcastle United.
It was announced on Friday that the teenage forward is up for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.
Leo Black, Charley Dinsdale, Tyrese Hall, Chizaram Ezenwata, Cruz Ibeh, Reggie Watson and Will Wright have also been nominated.
Nobody on that list registered more goal involvements than Vincent, so he is well positioned to land the accolade.
The winner will be announced next week and is voted on by the Premier League Football Development Panel.
What is Harvey Vincent's contract situation at Leeds?
Vincent is well thought of, but the youngster's contract at Elland Road is due to expire next summer.
That is not uncommon with youngsters, but Leeds need to be careful they do not lose him to a rival.
Vincent's stats in Premier League 2 really stand out across the first four matches of the season.
While it is true Farke is not exactly going to promote youngsters into the first team right now, there is every chance they can feature on the bench.
The early rounds of the FA Cup in the New Year also present an opportunity to give the next generation a chance to shine.
On his current trajectory, Vincent may well be one of those.
