Come this summer, some Leeds United players will leave the club. With the team set to play Premier League football next season, the squad could see some significant changes in the upcoming transfer window.
Leeds won Premier League promotion last week, after Sheffield United failed to beat Burnley. The news was confirmed after the Whites had beaten Stoke City 6-0. But on Monday night, Leeds had the perfect chance to start their celebrations when they faced Bristol City.
Daniel Farke’s men were off to a strong start once again, Ao Tanaka gave Leeds the lead after 21 minutes. The Whites went into half time with a one goal lead. Wilfried Gnonto doubled the advantage just minutes into the second half. Largie Ramazani came off the bench to score a brace to seal the result. During the game, Andy Hinchliffe had a lot of praise for Joel Piroe’s performance.

This summer, Leeds will lose some players. Three players are out of contract in the summer, while two players will return to their parent clubs on loan. Amidst all the celebrations after the huge win over Bristol City, the future of some of these players remained unknown. In the press conference after the game, Daniel Farke addressed these players and their status at Elland Road:
”It was not a goodbye (for those players) tonight. Important to involve players who played players who played a big part this season.”
Leeds will find out what happens with these players at the end of the season. The summer window is set to be an important period for the club heading into their Premier League return.
