Kemar Roofe is reportedly set to leave Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

Andy Hinchcliffe suggested on Sky Sports News (2:50pm, August 3, 2019) that Leeds United losing Kemar Roofe would be a major problem for them this season.

According to The Daily Mail, striker Roofe is set to leave Leeds and join Belgian outfit Anderlecht in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the 26-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, has completed a medical at Vincent Kompany’s Anderlecht.

The former Oxford United striker made 28 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds last season, scoring 15 goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Former Sheffield Wednesday left-back Hinchcliffe, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that losing Roofe would be a blow for the Whites in their quest to finish in the top two of the Championship table this season.

Hinchcliffe has also suggested that Roofe is better than fellow striker Patrick Bamford in leading the like for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Hinchcliffe said on Sky Sports News (2:50pm, August 3, 2019) about Roofe: “He is a big, big part. He is much better than Bamford leading the line for Leeds. If Roofe goes, that could be a major problem for Leeds.”
