Leeds United need to add to their roster this winter, and one position in particular needs to be filled. Left-back was identified as a position to strengthen ahead of the transfer window, and with the surprise decision to send Djed Spence back to Tottenham Hotspur, another option on the right is also required.
With long-serving star Luke Ayling attracting interest from other clubs, another right-back is now required.
Now, reporter Witcoop has mentioned an intriguing name worth keeping an eye on while writing on X. He claims that a move for Burnley full-back Connor Roberts to Elland Road is something to ‘keep an eye on’ this winter.
After a key role in their promotion from the Championship, Roberts began the 2023/24 season as Vincent Kompany’s go-to man on the right. However, the 28-year-old has fallen out of favor in recent months, with only 37 minutes of Premier League action since October 21st.
Leeds United’s pursuit of full-backs
The Spence decision surprised many, but given the club’s current lack of options at left and right-back, it could be an indication that new additions are on the way. At the very least, that is the hope; otherwise, Daniel Farke will be left even shorter.
