Leeds United have already sanctioned the departures of a number of first-team players this summer.
Leeds United’s willingness to offload so many players, surely suggests that they are confident that additions will come soon.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have frustrated supporters with a lack of activity so far this summer, with new signings taking a long time to arrive.
Lewis Baker is their only addition of the summer so far, but Leeds would surely have not sanctioned so many departures if they weren’t adamant that new players would arrive.
Angus Kinnear caused concern last week among Leeds fans, when he discussed the ‘slow market, as reported by HITC.
But Leeds supporters should be encouraged that they will get their wish, and new arrivals will come through the door at Elland Road sooner rather than later.
Leeds have let Tyler Denton, Paudie O’Connor, Lewie Coyle, Pawel Cibicki and Jay Roy Grot leave on loan deals this summer, with Felix Wiedwald and Andy Lonergan have gone permanently.
While they are only squad players, Leeds’ options now look very short – and Bielsa surely wouldn’t have lowered the numbers in his squad, without total confidence that players would be brought to Elland Road in the near future.
