January is a month when clubs usually look to strengthen their squad but the transfer chaos can also turn focus onto securing the future of current key players. At Leeds United, growing uncertainty surrounding Junior Firpo has brought contract talks to the forefront of fan debate and as of New Year’s Day, he is free to speak with foreign clubs over a summer move, having entered the final six months of his current terms.
Firpo is not the only Leeds player currently set to leave this summer and with transfer value starting to diminish once a contract enters its final year, club chiefs will also need to have an eye on those with 18 months remaining on their current deals. There are some important first-team regulars that fit into both categories and so decisions will soon need to be made.
Below, the YEP has taken a look at the 13 senior players with Leeds contracts expiring either this summer or next. Scroll down to see who is due for talks sooner, rather than later.
