Tyler Roberts is set for an early Leeds United reunion after leaving the club to join Birmingham City on Wednesday night. The forward has penned a four-year contract with the Blues, bringing an end to his six-year stay at Elland Road.
Roberts was a member of Marcelo Bielsa’s promotion-winning side in 2020 and he went on to become a regular in the Premier League under the Argentine. However, he spent last season on loan with QPR after being deemed surplus to requirements and his move to Birmingham represents the first senior exit during a summer of vast change at Elland Road.
The Wales international won’t have to wait too long to come up against his old side, though, with Leeds being Birmingham’s first visitors to St Andrew’s this season. The clash, which is still subject to change, is scheduled to take place on August 12 and Roberts will no doubt be keen to get one over his former club.
