Kemar Roofe is reportedly leaving Leeds United for Anderlecht in the summer transfer window.

Danny Murphy has suggested on talkSPORT that Kemar Roofe is making a mistake by leaving Leeds United.

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.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Murphy has suggested that he is surprised that Roofe is leaving Leeds for Anderlecht.

Murphy said on talkSPORT about Roofe: “Personally from a footballing perspective, I would be looking at it and thinking, ‘Not so sure about it, to be honest’. Leeds, wonderful club, great support, hell of a chance of getting up.”

Leeds United will miss Kemar Roofe

Roofe was one of the best players for Leeds last season and led the line well for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

According to WhoScored, the striker made 28 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for the Whites during the 2018-19 campaign, scoring 15 goals and providing two assists in the process.

Leeds will miss Roofe, and the Whites have to find a suitable replacement, which is going to be hard as there are only days left in the summer transfer window.
