Overall: 
Article was nominated on the same day it was promoted to GA status. It is well-sourced throughout with inline citations. Article coverage is neutral. Earwig shows no copyright violations with one obvious false-positive. Hook is interesting, short, neutral, and mentioned in the article prose while being backed by reliable sources. Image is fitting and ready to be used for DYK. QPQ has been done. This one is good to go. Aria1561 (talk) 05:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- @EchetusXe: A couple sentences at the end of paragraphs need citations. These include "Whitehead went on to make forty–six appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.", "By the end of the 2015–16 season, Whitehead went on to make thirty–six appearances in all competitions.", and "By the end of the 2016–17 season, he went on to make twenty appearances in all competitions.". Can you add citations to those statements? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 17:55, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
