Leeds United made heavy use of the loan market with their fringe players last summer as 10 players departed in search of regular game time. Players such as Helder Costa and Kiko Casilla, who were regulars in the promotion season, earned moves to La Liga, while youngsters such as Alfie McCalmont and Ryan Edmondson made moves to the Football League to gain valuable senior experience.
It is fair to say that it has been a relatively mixed bag in terms of the success of each of the loans, with some playing far more football than others. So with that in mind, here is an assessment of each of their season’s so far and whether they have done enough to stake a claim for a place in Leeds’ squad next season.
