Contract discussions will dominate the headlines around Leeds United in the coming months. After the Whites’ first season in the top flight, there will be a lot of key decisions to be made in the summer.
Transfers will be a key part, as Leeds will welcome back a bunch of loanees in the coming months. This week, there was a detailed report about the 49ers deciding to push back any talks over Daniel Farke’s future until the end of the season. With the club just a few games away from safety, this has been widely accepted as the right decision.
Simon Rix has also spoken out about how the club need to give Karl Darlow a new contract. The keeper has been outstanding since taking over as number one, and deserves to be rewarded at the end of the campaign.
Leeds United ready to reward first team star
Another key player’s future is also yet to be decided at Elland Road. News about Ethan Ampadu has popped up as the season as gone on, with reports that some Premier League clubs have been impressed by him this season. It has been said that the Whites are open to giving him a new contract, but nothing has been confirmed as yet.
TEAMtalk are now reporting that the 49ers are ready to give the Wales international a long-term extension. Per the report, Leeds United are ready to offer Ethan Ampadu a new four-year deal with a significant pay rise. He is seen as a valuable member of the team, and the club are ready for him to remain. The midfielder is said to be very open to the idea of extending his stay at Elland Road.
This week, Tim Sherwood praised Ethan Ampadu for how well he has played this season, saying that he would be a good fit at Tottenham.
Right decision by the 49ers
There are a lot of decisions for the 49ers to make in the coming months, but the key among them will be Ethan Ampadu and Daniel Farke. Farke has done a fantastic job this season, even with the club having considered giving him the sack in November. Not many coaches would have been able to take the club this far, and the German deserves the chance to show what he can do beyond this year. It is a similar scenario for Ethan Ampadu, he is one of the best players at the club and is the captain – his efforts must be rewarded come this summer.
