Leeds United should offload Stuart Dallas in the summer transfer window.

Stuart Dallas has been on the books of Leeds United since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Championship rivals Brentford for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.3 million and has a contract with the West Yorkshire outfit until the summer of 2020, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Dallas is a very good winger who has proved himself in the Championship, but perhaps time has come for Leeds to move him on and find a replacement.

The 27-year-old winger has had injury issues for the past two seasons, and although he has operated in unfamiliar positions at times, he has not always been great on the pitch.

Leeds have endured yet another disappointing season in the Championship, and for the Whites to challenge for promotion in 2018-19, they need players who are better than Dallas.

There is no doubt that the Northern Ireland international is a very good winger, but the 27-year-old has not made a huge impact for the Whites for the past two seasons, and Leeds cannot afford to have players in their team who are not able to contribute meaningfully.
