Leeds United's electrifying teenage talent Mohammed is poised for a Premier League breakthrough after turning down international advances from Ghana, according to Whites striker Georginio Rutter.
The 19-year-old midfielder, who's been turning heads at Elland Road this season, has chosen to focus on his club career despite interest from the Ghanaian national team setup.
Rutter's Revelation
French forward Rutter, who's formed a formidable partnership with Mohammed in Leeds' promotion-chasing campaign, made the surprising disclosure during a recent interview. "I think he's going to be in the Premier League," Rutter confidently stated about his young teammate's future prospects.
The endorsement carries significant weight coming from a player who understands what it takes to compete at the highest level, having joined Leeds from German side Hoffenheim for a club-record fee.
Double Delight for Daniel Farke
Mohammed isn't the only young star catching the eye at Thorp Arch. Rutter also heaped praise on 17-year-old sensation Archie Gray, predicting both teenagers are destined for top-flight football.
"Archie and Mohammed are going to be in the Premier League," Rutter declared, highlighting the exceptional quality emerging from Leeds' famed academy system.
International Crossroads
Mohammed's decision to delay international commitments demonstrates a strategic approach to his development. While eligible for Ghana, the promising midfielder appears focused on establishing himself under Daniel Farke's guidance before making decisions about his international future.
This calculated approach mirrors that of many young talents who prioritise club development during their formative years, potentially keeping options open for England representation later in their careers.
Promotion Push Priority
With Leeds United firmly in the Championship promotion picture, Mohammed's contributions have become increasingly valuable. His energy, technical ability and maturity beyond his years have made him a regular feature in Farke's plans as the Yorkshire club targets an immediate return to the Premier League.
The timing couldn't be better for the young midfielder, whose development could accelerate dramatically if Leeds secure top-flight status this season.
As the Championship campaign reaches its business end, all eyes will be on whether Mohammed can help drive Leeds back to the Premier League and fulfil Rutter's prediction of becoming a top-flight regular next season.
