Former Premier League star Stan Collymore has called Leeds United to change their transfer policy in order to complement the young players in the squad and to ensure the club do not fall into another close-run relegation battle next season.
Leeds have already lost talisman Kalvin Phillips to Manchester City and rumours of Raphinha’s departure continue to swirl. So far, the Whites have opted for players 25 and younger with little to no previous Premier League experience for their incomings. Collymore, who most notably played for Liverpool and Nottingham Forest during his football career, told the Mirror that Leeds should prioritise older, more experienced players to stop them from getting into a similar situation as last season.
“Raphinha is off, Kalvin Phillips has already gone," Collymore told the Mirror. "So the question is: ‘What next for Leeds United?’ They have Jesse Marsch and they stayed up, they have gone through all the Ted Lasso jokes, so it’s a clean slate and where do they go from here?
