Sol Bamba has described Leeds United's youngsters as "unbelievable" after recently making the move to Elland Road.
Leeds secured the services of Bamba in a loan deal with Palermo, and the 30-year-old believes that the club's academy graduates can lead the side up the Championship table after making his debut in Saturday's 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town.
"They're unbelievable, in the middle of the park in particular," the former Leicester City centre-back told the club's official website. "We've got some lovely players who can play good football. It's good for them to play and get more experience.
"From day one when I came here, I saw the confidence in the team. We try to play good football.
"Obviously, the league table is not that great but the players didn't have any problems with that and you could see that on Saturday."
Leeds return to action against Brentford on Saturday.
