Leeds United have shown their commitment to a long term strategy at Elland Road after Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville all signed new long-term deals on Tuesday. The Whites, who have also brought in five new first team players this summer, rewarded the young trio after they each enjoyed a breakthrough into the first team last season.
But Gelhardt, Greenwood and Summerville's renewals are just the start of the work that Leeds have got to do in terms of contracts. While only three are out of contract next summer, a large volume of the squad's current deals only run until 2024 and so Victor Orta and co will have to be ruthless on who they want to stick around long-term.
With that in mind, here is a look at the contract situation of each player in Jesse Marsch's squad

Luke Ayling
The right-back position is one that Marsch was eager to strengthen this summer, bringing in Rasmus Kristensen for £10 million. Ayling is currently out injured having gone under the knife for knee surgery in May, but he is expected to return to training at the end of August - where he will be working hard to earn himself a new contract.
Adam Forshaw
Forshaw's put to pen to paper on a new contract in January, keeping him at Elland Road until the summer of 2023.
Mateusz Bogusz
The young midfield joined Leeds in 2019, and was rewarded with a new deal until 2023 just 18 months later.
2024
Liam Cooper
Cooper will have been at Elland Road for a decade by the time his contract expires. He will turn 33 in the summer of 2024, but the captain recently revealed that he feels he can play for many more years.
Pascal Struijk
The versatile Struijk signed for Leeds as an 18-year-old in 2018. Two years later, he was rewarded with a new contract.

Robin Koch
The German defender signed a four-year deal when he was signed by Marcelo Bielsa in 2020.
Diego Llorente
There seems to be a theme with Leeds centre-backs being out of contract in 2024, with Llorente's deal also expiring.
Cody Drameh
Drameh, who LeedsLive understand will stay at Elland Road this season to fight for a place in the first-team, still has two years remaining on his Elland Road deal.
Rodrigo
Leeds smashed their club-record fee when they signed Rodrigo for £26 million in 2020. He is halfway through his deal at the Whites.
Mateusz Klich
After impressing in the Championship for a couple of seasons, the Poland international signed a new four-and-a-half year deal in 2019.
Stuart Dallas
Dallas isn't set to return to action until 2023 after sustaining a serious injury against Manchester City last season. Once he's back from the treatment table, he'll have one year remaining on his deal.
Ian Poveda
Leeds picked up the exciting winger on a four-year deal in 2020, and he has made 20 first-team appearances for the Whites since.
Helder Costa
Costa, who played on loan at Valencia last season, has two years remaining on his deal.
Jack Harrison
Currently the subject of interest from Newcastle, Harrison, who Leeds value at £35 million, has his contract up in 2024.

Kristoffer Klaesson
Klaesson is yet to make his first Premier League start, but he has time to make that right with four years remaining on his contract in Yorkshire.
Junior Firpo
Leeds gave Firpo a four-year deal last July, hoping he was going to bring an end to their long-lasting left-back problem.
Leo Hjelde
Hjedle, another summer of 2021 recruit, put pen to paper on a four-year deal.
2026
Ilan Meslier
Meslier was rewarded with a long-term deal last summer.
Marc Roca
Signed by Marsch this summer, the former Bayern Munich midfielder is set to stay at Elland Road until 2026.
Darko Gyabi
Another summer recruit, Gyabi comes highly-rated from Manchester City, and penned a four-year deal.
Dan James
Bielsa was a huge admirer of James when he brought him to the club last summer. The Welshman was signed on a five-year contract.
Patrick Bamford
Off the back of a sensational season in 2020/21, where he led Leeds to a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League, Bamford signed a new deal with the Whites.
Sam Greenwood
With just one year left on his initial deal, Greenwood put pen-to-paper on a new four-year contract on Tuesday morning.
Crysencio Summerville
Like Greenwood, Summerville has also agreed terms on a new four-year-deal.
2027
Rasmus Kristensen
The 2027 contract-expirees are all players who signed for Leeds this summer. Right-back Kristensen was one of those to be given a five-year deal.
Brenden Aaronson
Aaronson followed the same path of Kristensen - signing from Red Bull Salzburg on a long-term deal.
Tyler Adams
Just like the previous two players, Adams has worked with Marsch before, and the Leeds head coach handed the American midfielder a long-term contract to show his faith.
Luis Sinisterra
Leeds' most recent signing of the window, Sinisterra also signed a five-year deal.
Joe Gelhardt
After a breakthrough season in 2021/22, Joe Gelhardt was rewarded with a new five-year-deal on Tuesday ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
