When the time comes to evaluate the future of players who have been touted to depart Elland Road at the conclusion of the season, Leeds United will have a lot of decision-making to do.
Of course, whether or not the Whites are promoted back to the Premier League will be a major issue in many discussions. A total of 11 players are now on loan from Leeds, and it has already been stated that some will not be returning at the end of the season.
Given the manner in which some of the club’s players left in the summer, the writing is on the wall for their future at Elland Road. Phil Hay recently evaluated each loanee’s chances of returning and singled out Max Wöber, who ‘disappointed’ the club and appears to have no way back under Daniel Farke.

More pressing issues, however, are on the horizon for Leeds. As the January transfer window approaches, clubs begin to look for fresh players. Wilfried Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville are both attracting a lot of attention at the moment, particularly the latter, who is proving crucial to Leeds’ promotion push with seven goals and six assists in 15 Championship games this season.
According to Football Insider the Whites ‘do not want to lose’ either player in the new year, despite prospective sales guaranteeing a substantial cash injection into their own transfer fund.
The report also claims that Leeds will have ‘a decent budget’ available to make some new permanent signings. However, the club will need to shift attention to offloading some of the players out on loan to make things easier when the summer arrives.
