The longer the transfer window goes on, the more likely it appears that Junior Firpo will be leaving Leeds United this summer. Reports emerged earlier this month, just a few days after Leeds’ Premier League relegation was confirmed, of Firpo’s desire to sample a new experience in football and the talk has continued throughout the month.
Real Betis have been linked before but Marseille are the latest to be credited with an interest in the Dominican-born full-back. The French side haven’t made their move yet, but they are said to be keeping tabs on Firpo’s situation at Elland Road, where he has spent the last couple of years.
The left-back arrived with a healthy reputation, having spent two seasons deputising for Jordi Alba at Barcelona and it was hoped that he would be able to solve what was threatening to become a problem position for the Whites at the time. It’s fair to say, though, that Firpo can be considered a flop after failing to find form and make a home for himself in West Yorkshire.
