Green lights and white smoke may be dominating Leeds United’s takeover and head coach narratives, but while those stories wait, transfers are coming to the fore behind the scenes. Pitches are being made to the players United want to keep and pathways are being forged for those they want out of the club.
The assumption from the outside looking in on the squad is virtually every player to have arrived since 2020 would now be looking to pack their bags. Surely, those players who signed on with a Premier League club have no interest in rolling their sleeves up five hours down the road at Home Park in February?
There will be some surprises, of course, because Leeds cannot carry 20-plus departures in their squad. There is not enough time to get that many ins and outs done before September 1. There are the more obvious candidates, though.
