As things stand, Leeds United are on course to clinch their place in the Premier League next season. But with 11 games to go, nothing has been confirmed yet and things can drastically change.
The Whites have looked the more favourable of the teams among the bottom of the league, with the teams around them in chaos. Leeds have managed to pick five points out of nine in crucial games against Forest, Chelsea and Aston Villa. If they continue at this pace, they could beat the drop in the coming weeks. Their schedule from now till the end of the season is very difficult as they face a lot of teams in and around them at the bottom of the league.
Leeds United could lose key duo
What has been of huge help for Daniel Farke this season is the recruitment from the summer. Despite spending £100 million and not getting significant attacking reinforcements, a lot of the signings have panned out well. Players like Anton Stach, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jaka Bijol have stood out as the campaign has progressed.
And per reports from Football Insider, clubs around Europe have taken notice. Bijol and Stach are said to be attracting top suitors ahead of the summer, with their exploits in the Premier League catching the eye of multiple teams. Anton Stach has been the anchor in midfield, driving the team up the pitch and popping up with important goals. Jaka Bijol has finally been playing to the level everyone expected when he arrived from Italy.

49ers must do whatever it takes to keep key players
It is normal for promoted clubs to lose their best players just after one season, but the 49ers must do everything possible to keep this duo. What will be more important is Leeds United staying in the Premier League – that gives them the bargaining chip if a top club comes around. If the Whites maintain their top flight status, they can either choose to keep Bijol and Stach or sell them for a profit.
This summer will be a crucial one for the future of the club, with all the plans from the 49ers. It is up to Daniel Farke and his men to continue to deliver results from now till the end of the season to seal the deal.
