Midfielder Lewis Cook has got more goals in him and will get better with time, former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan believes.
The 19-year-old, a product of the Leeds United academy, has been a revelation for his team since his promotion to the senior side last season, earning the trust of various head coaches as the Whites have chopped and changed.
Whelan, who has been watching him since his arrival on the first team scene, thinks that the player has got a lot of potential which will only increase as he gets older.
Referring to the goal Cook scored against Fulham last Tuesday, an amazing effort from over 30 yards out, Whelan stated that it shows the kind of courage Cook has got and his goals tally will only improve as time goes on.
Speaking about the goal against Fulham, the 41-year-old wrote in the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Lewis Cook’s goal was just a special strike from a special player.

"He’s capable of doing that. And when I say people were trying shots from outside of the area and trying to shoot on sight, that’s exactly what he did.
"You’ve got to be brave with these attempts. Nine times out of 10 they will fly to the back of the stands, they could get blocked, it could be an awful attempt.
"Cook was very, very brave because he was at least 40 yards out. What a sweet strike. You’ll only probably score one of those in your whole career.
"But I do think there’s more goals in Lewis.
"His overall game is still getting better and we’ve got to understand that – he is still learning the game and what he brings to the team is pretty special at that age."
Cook has featured in 29 of his side's 32 Championship matches this season, scoring a single goal and has also provided his team-mates with one assist.
