Most of Leeds United’s veteran stalwarts are expected to stay at Elland Road this summer. Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling have both set their stall out on social media, underlining their desire to stick around and help Leeds back to the top flight.
The captain and vice-captain will more than likely play key roles, too, as the Whites look to find stability in the new 49ers Enterprises era. Stuart Dallas remains at the club and while his presence has been huge off the field over the last 12 months, he’ll hope to make a difference on the field this time around.
Patrick Bamford seems likely to stay, too, and his experience will be key in the Championship, even if he struggled for form last time around. Unfortunately, though, the above quartet are the only recognised leaders without rather large question marks hanging over their heads following the Whites’ Premier League relegation.
