Your round-up of the latest Leeds United stories during the March international break.
With just over a week remaining, Leeds United will play their next game on Good Friday against Watford. Although Daniel Farke’s team has been leading the Championship since Sunday, they might start in third place at Vicarage Road if both Ipswich Town and Leicester City win early in the day.
While several Whites players will be abroad on international duty for the next few days, Farke will already be making preparations for the season’s final eight games, which are very important. The YEP has compiled a list of some of the most recent Elland Road stories in the meantime.
Interest in trio
According to reports, Leeds could lose Georginio Rutter, Wilfried Gnonto, and Crysencio Summerville if they don’t get promoted. According to GiveMeSport, the three have drawn attention from the Premier League and may find themselves in the top division regardless of the Whites’ success.
Summerville, Gnonto, and Rutter—who have combined for 31 goals across all competitions—have been instrumental in Leeds’ outstanding Championship run. The young trio has been lighting up the league every week, but teams with greater resources will undoubtedly take notice of their performance.
Leeds would be in a strong position if they were promoted to the Premier League, but they might also become vulnerable if they were not. Last summer, Everton and Burnley, respectively, showed interest in Gnonto and Summerville.
Roberts future
It is not anticipated that Leeds will finalize Connor Roberts’ loan transfer in the summer. According to Graeme Bailey, Burnley will probably want to hang onto their right-back, who has experience playing in the second division, given that they are expected to be demoted.
Roberts participated in the quest for promotion from now until May after securing a loan move to Elland Road in January. The Welshman has already made a huge difference, netting the equalizer in Leicester City’s 3-1 comeback victory last month.
“I don’t see it particularly, particularly in the event that Kristensen returns.” Bailey told LeedsUnitedNews, “I think Roberts has been OK; if he was available for very little, that is a possibility.” “You have players on the roster, but what kind of thing does Roberts bring to the table that Sam Byram doesn’t? It’s a difficult decision, but to be honest, I don’t think he will be a long-term member of Leeds. Should he enter, I would be shocked.
