“It’s not like going to a small club, going to a big big club (if he moved to Leeds),” Whelan said in an interview with Football insider.
“No disrespect for Palace. But if you look at the size of the club, Leeds’ dwarf is Crystal Palace, although they haven’t been in the Premier League for a long time.
“The path for young players in Leeds is worth seeing. We saw it at Lewis Cook and the academy system is being used, giving players a first team chance.
“What a good time to think about moving to Leeds.”
Raymond played a key role in Palace’s U18 pick this season and was capped by England at U17 level.

However, his all-round game was missing in other areas. Despite the boost in confidence in scoring his first goal since the restart of the season, Bamford had only one shot in the first half.
