It won’t just be established first-team names leaving Leeds United this summer. The Whites have a number of promising young players who will be striving to make the step up to senior football this time around and Leeds can be expected to utilise the loan market.
United saw success by sending a number of players out on loan last season and after excelling away from Elland Road, the likes of Charlie Cresswell, Leo Hjelde and Cody Drameh could all have roles to play in the Whites’ first-team under the new head coach. Reports have already suggested that Sonny Perkins could be one man set for a loan this time around, before the start of the Championship and if that is the case, it seems others might follow.
Here’s a look at five of last season’s Under-21 stars who could get benefit from spending time from a loan move this season.
