Leeds United’s promising youngster Sonny Perkins has opened up about his adaptation period at Leyton Orient, where the 20-year-old striker is spending the season on loan. After navigating through early challenges, Perkins has found his stride, demonstrated by an impressive run of scoring in three consecutive matches.
Speaking to Leyton Orient TV, Perkins credited the welcoming atmosphere at the League One club for helping him overcome initial frustrations: “The lads have been great; I feel I have settled in really quickly to be fair, which has helped when sometimes things might have been frustrating on the pitch.”
The Leeds prospect particularly emphasized the strong team unity at Orient as a crucial factor in maintaining confidence during challenging periods. “It is a great group even when there have been tough days and I think everyone stuck together,” he explained. “That helps a lot with supporting each other, making everyone feel confident and still ready to go and put it right if it does not go right.”
This supportive environment has coincided with a dramatic upturn in Perkins’ form, with his latest goal coming in the EFL Trophy fixture against MK Dons. The forward’s recent scoring streak suggests he’s successfully translated his early comfort off the pitch into meaningful contributions on it.
The rapid integration and subsequent performance improvement of the highly-rated Leeds talent demonstrates the value of his loan move, with Perkins now showing the kind of form that made him such an appealing prospect to the Yorkshire club in the first place.
