As important as arrivals are in the coming weeks for Leeds United, the club need to move players out of the door. They have done an okay job in the last week, but there is still work to be done.
Pascal Struijk was sold as Leeds made some profit for the books, as the player was not willing to commit his long term future.
The Whites have also sold Isaac Schmidt, who had an uninspiring time at Elland Road. Jack Harrison has also followed out of the door, bringing and end to his transfer saga.
Max Wober left on a free transfer as the Whites offloaded another high earner off their wage bill.
Out of the four players left out of the trip to the US, two remain. Joe Gelhardt has received serious interest from English clubs this week, while Largie Ramazani is yet to report to Thorp Arch.
Leeds United confirm midfielder’s departure
Those will be the main players expected to leave Elland Road in the coming weeks, but nothing can be ruled out at this stage.
On Wednesday night, Leeds United confirmed the exit of Charlie Crew who will join League Two side Walsall on a season long loan. Crew was part of the squad that made the trip to the US.

He trained with the first team, and even had a cameo in the win over Sunderland.
The midfielder will now get his chance at first team football next season. Leeds will hope his loan spell goes better than last year, when he was sent back after a poor first half of the season at Doncaster Rovers.

Walsall boss pleased with Charlie Crew’s arrival
The Leeds United midfielder will be Walsall’s 11th signing of this summer window.
They finished in the middle of the pack in League Two last season, and will be hoping to get a better standing in the coming campaign. Saddlers boss Lee Grant has spoken about Crew’s signing.
“We’ve put a lot of work in to understanding Charlie both as a player and as a character and we are certain he will boost us on both fronts. He’s shown a real maturity in our conversations.
“He has experience of a promotion in League Two as well as playing in the league above in his most recent loan spell. ”
Charlie Crew could make his first appearance as early as Thursday night, when Walsall begin their domestic season with a game against Bristol City in the Carabao Cup.
