With the transfer window now officially closed and business wrapped up until January at the earliest, those in charge at Leeds United might be minded to focus on the current crop. Daniel Farke has an excellent group of players to work with and a shrewd approach would see them tied up to long-term contracts, providing stability for both club and player.
Moves have already been made to that effect, with Wilfried Gnonto putting pen to paper on a four-year deal last week as he aims to become the main man, following Crysencio Summerville’s exit. The 20-year-old now joins a raft of summer signings in committing himself until 2028 but there are a few more pressing situations to be addressed.
With all that in mind, the YEP has rounded up the current contract expiry of every first-team squad member at Leeds, with two experienced members into the final year of their deals. Take a look below...
