Hosannah joined Leeds in the summer from Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Only one member of Leeds United’s first team has entered the final two months of their contract at Elland Road after Paul Heckingbottom oversaw Pablo Hernandez’s new two-year deal.
Young left-back Tom Pearce could leave the club at the end of the season, though it has been widely reported that the 20-year-old is in talks over extending his current deal after breaking into the first team.
But it is in Leeds’ Under-23 side where a multitude of players have entered the final stages of their current deals, with the likes Oriol Rey, Romario Vieira and Kamil Miazek are all set to see their contracts expire.
Another name in Carlos Corberan’s side that could be about to suffer the same fate is right-back Bryce Hosannah, who only joined the Whites in the summer from Premier League outfit Crystal Palace.
His contract ends on June 30, with no reports to suggest that the 19-year-old will be given a new deal. But with Leeds’ woes on the right side of defence this season, Hosannah could be needed as cover by Heckingbottom.
Luke Ayling has been sidelined for five months after suffering an ankle injury, while summer signing Vurnon Anita has been well below par since his move from Newcastle United. Lewie Coyle has been out on loan, and his future remains a talking point.
It sees Leeds have somewhat of a problem area on the right side of defence, despite Hosannah proving to be reliably consistent throughout the campaign under manager Corberan.
However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Leeds could be losing one of their most impressive Under-23 stars in Hosannah as well as reducing cover in a position where they cannot afford too many more losses.
Owner Andrea Radrizzani must go back to the negotiating table and offer Hosannah a new deal in a move that would benefit all parties involved.
