Crew, who trained with Wales’ senior team during the recent international break and has won his U21 side’s first two caps, has been playing regularly in the club’s second string this season and captained the 21’s in their last game.
Leeds’ first International Cup win of the season saw them beat French side Nice 2-0 thanks to Charlie Allen’s second-half hat-trick.
“It’s starting to look like Crew is going to make a breakthrough soon,” Nixon said. “There’s a lot of expectation in Wales that he’ll get his senior cap soon under Rob Page.”
Crew is another Welsh star in Daniel Farke’s Leeds squad.
Leeds teenager Crew in tug of war between Wales and England
Ethan Ampadu, who claimed he is “excited” by youngster Crew, is one of those, along with Dan James and Joe Rodon. However, England has noticed Crew’s amazing potential and is interested in the talent.
According to reports, The FA scouts saw that several members of Crew’s family are from England, which qualifies him for play in both England and the United States. Nixon claims that capturing him would be kind of a “prize” for Wales.
particularly at this point, when he is so close to earning a spot on the senior Wales team. On the horizon comes a choice that Crew must make. He needs to keep impressing manager Farke while wearing a Leeds jersey.

Sam Byram mocked by Sky Sports as Leeds United ace suffers stinker in 3-1 defeat v Southampton
After his awful performance in the 3-1 loss at Southampton on Saturday, Sam Bryam will have Leeds United fans believing that Junior Firpo is Roberto Carlos.
The 30-year-old Byram, who returned to Elland Road on a free transfer in August, was making his ninth appearance for Leeds. Despite impressing last time out with a goalscoring performance against Watford, the full-back from Thurrock was far slower on the south coast.
In just 35 seconds, Southampton jumped out to a three-goal lead.
The Saints striker made short work of Bryam for his second goal just after 30 minutes as the home team’s brisk start to the Championship match at St Mary’s left him plainly struggling. Adam Armstrong’s second-minute goal found the Leeds full-back out of place.
Byram didn’t appear to be paying any attention to the game during the opening goal.
The left-back is in a good position and has preserved what is a respectable-looking Leeds backline, as seen in the picture up above.
But it quickly starts to disintegrate.
Liam Cooper makes a terrible move forward to put Armstrong onside so that the Southampton striker can enter behind him and move diagonally in the direction of Byram.
But despite being caught flat-footed and having little chance, the former Norwich full-back steps forward in an attempt to intercept the through ball rather than following the run.
Armstrong is in a one-on-one situation with goalie Illan Meslier before Byram even realizes it.
With his second goal, Armstrong played with the helpless left-back by severely misfiring him, causing him to trip and fall.
Here is the tweet from Sky Sports Football making fun of him.
