Leeds United are set to offload some members of their first-team squad, judging by Thomas Christiansen’s comments.

Thomas Christiansen has suggested to Leeds United’s official website that players could leave Elland Road in the coming days.

In this article we take a look at the three players most likely to head out of the exit door, either on loan or on a permanent deal.

Giuseppe Bellusci

Bellusci may be back at Leeds, but there is surely no way back for the defender at Elland Road.

Bellusci burned his bridges with the bulk of the Leeds support, due to his persistently error prone performances at the back.

Leeds fans have accused Bellusci of having a bad attitude, and he is a player Christiansen is likely to move on this summer.

Rob Green

Leeds have signed Felix Wiedwald this summer, which has plunged Green’s future at Elland Road into doubt.

Wiedwald is likely to be Leeds’ number one stopper next season, and Green may not be content being a back-up option at this stage of his career.

Toumani Diagouraga

The Yorkshire Evening Post have suggested that Diagouraga wants to stay and fight for his place at Leeds, but it is hard to see him getting back into Christiansen’s plans.

Leeds have a number of options in central midfield, and Diagouraga may find he is better off looking elsewhere for first-team football.
