Leeds United are set for a string of interesting reunions over the coming weeks as former players turn out for Premier League opponents. Daniel Farke’s side welcome Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur to Elland Road over the next fortnight, both of whom boast ex-Whites midfielders within their ranks.
Elland Road is not the most forgiving environment and returning players deemed to have wronged the club by fans will certainly know where they stand. Those same supporters remain loyal and appreciative of others to have worn the famous white shirt, however, with chants of ‘you’re Leeds, and you know you are’ expected at different points of the season.
All in all, 15 former Leeds stars could play a part in their respective team’s trip to LS11 between now and May, with some very interesting returns on the horizon. Below, the YEP takes a look at when those particular players are due back.
19. Ben White - Arsenal (May 8)
Won the Championship title with Leeds during 2019/20, on loan from Brighton. Joined Arsenal in a £50m deal five years ago but fell out of favour during their title win last season. | Arsenal FC via Getty Images
20. Illan Meslier - Arsenal (May 8)
Left Leeds upon the expiry of his contract this summer and made a surprise move to Arsenal. The Frenchman is unlikely to be in goal at Elland Road, however, given he's currently second or third choice.
