Can you help me identify this sapling?

There are three of these growing in our front garden and I’d like to know if they’re a keeper or not!

They’re not far from our greengages, and the leaves aren’t dissimilar, but we also have a lot of other trees around.

They’ve got quite a hefty root system on them already!

Thanks in advance for any help!

They look like offshoots from the greengage. The plum family are prone to sending little shoots up from the roots. They usually amount to nothing. I find them a nuisance and cut them out.
