Leeds United striker Lee Erwin is set to leave the club, according to reports.

According to The Scottish Sun, Leeds United striker Lee Erwin has negotiated his release from the club, and could remain in England or head back to Scotland.

Erwin, 22, came up through the ranks with Motherwell, eventually emerging into the first team having joined the club way back in 2006.

After hitting six goals in 37 games during the 2014-15 season, Leeds United swooped to snap up Erwin with a view to him becoming an important contributor in attack.

However, Erwin has made just 12 appearances for Leeds having failed to establish himself under Uwe Rosler, Steve Evans or Garry Monk, whilst Thomas Christiansen also hasn’t been convinced so far.

After hitting ten goals in 40 games for Oldham last season, Erwin returned from his loan spell to attempt to save his Elland Road career, but reports today suggest that his time with the Whites is over.

The Scottish Sun report that Erwin has agreed to terminate his Leeds contract in order to help him go and find a new club, though he may not be a free agent for long.

It’s claimed that Erwin has options in England and Scotland for when his Leeds exit is confirmed, with Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson potentially interested.

Robinson worked with Erwin at Motherwell and Oldham, meaning a reunion could work for all parties, with Leeds seemingly believing that he has no future at Elland Road.
