Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe’s current deal at Elland Road only runs until 2020.

Kemar Roofe of Leeds United looks on during the Sky Bet Championship between Leeds United and Nottingham Forest at Elland Road on October 27, 2018 in Leeds, England.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United have still not opened contract talks with Kemar Roofe.

Roofe has been Leeds’ star striker this season, and currently leads the club’s scoring charts.

However, his deal at Elland Road comes to an end in 2020, and contract talks have been delayed.

Leeds were expected to speak to the striker abut a new deal in October, but he has still not sat down for a discussion over his future.

The Whites will surely want to keep Roofe, but interest could now mount in January.

Leeds have previously had to sell players who have entered the last year of their contract, and the situation could happen again with Roofe, unless talks over a new deal commence soon.

Leeds also are said to be expecting both Samu Saiz and Bailey Peacock-Farrell to ask for improved terms, but neither of the pair have contacted the club over their contract situation yet.
