Cardiff City player El King is on loan at League 2 club Crewe Alexandra till January, has played 4 times for Crewe.
Crewe Alexandra assistant boss Lee Bell has heaped praise on Bluebirds youngster Eli King, citing his "class on the ball".
Many thought King,who is 20 years old in 2 months, might have a part to play in the Bluebirds' first team this season, but Steve Morison felt it right to send him on loan to the League Two side until at least January, when Cardiff will make a decision on whether to recall him or not.
King has played four times for Crewe and Bell said his class is already clear for all to see.
“He has had a calming influence, in terms of what he offers different to the other midfield players," he said, as quoted by CheshireLive.
"From the Bradford game, he adapted really well to the tactics we were asking of him, but also implemented his game. You could see he has some class on the ball.
“We are delighted with him. He is a really humble lad who wants to improve and work hard. If we can get him just slightly higher with the ball, I think he will cause some real damage.”
King himself looks to be having the time of his life on loan there, too, saying: “I’m loving it, really, really loving it. I love playing the games and training, it’s a really good group of lads – I mean that. I’m enjoying myself and I can’t wait to just keep playing.
“We prepare for every individual game in a very specific way, and that really helps us on the pitch. We all feel prepared when we step on to the pitch.
“In the games I’ve played before, we’ve just lacked that last little bit to get that win. So it was great to get that done. I think we deserved it. We showed we can do that, even when we were tired and had to defend for our lives near the end. We stuck together.
“Four points from the last two games is positive, a draw away and a win at home, we can’t complain about that. We have to just keep ticking along.”
