Three Leeds United players that could still leave Elland Road in January after Joe Gelhardt and Charlie Crew

Joe Gelhardt and Charlie Crew have been allowed to leave Leeds United on loan this week with the duo joining Hull City and Doncaster Rovers until the end of the season.

Gelhardt was always expected to leave Leeds after starting just one game during the first half of the season, making three appearances in total this season. Crew is even less, earning his professional debut.

Wales international Crew came off the bench against Plymouth but to date, that is the midfielder’s only outing and he has since joined League Two side Doncaster. But there could be more exits at Leeds.

Three Leeds United players that could still leave Elland Road

Leeds have a small squad and the chances of The Whites cashing in on other players seems unlikely. But, three players are generating interest as the January window enters the final fortnight in the next days.

Patrick Bamford:

Despite the loss of Gelhardt, Bamford could still end up leaving if he is set to remain injured until the end of the month. The February 3 deadline aids a move. Leeds are open to green-lighting Bamford’s exit.

Wrexham and Genoa were linked with Bamford at the start of the month and since then, Blackburn have shown interest. Rovers manager John Eustace has confirmed his interest in landing the England striker.

Junior Firpo:

The left-back remains out of contract at the end of the season. The Leeds man can sign a pre-contract arrangement with non-English clubs now, a deal which would see him exit Leeds on a free in the summer.

Besiktas are interested, while former side Betis are leading the charge for Firpo. So, the left-back could sign a new contract at Leeds, a pre-contract elsewhere, or Leeds could sell to avoid losing Firpo on a free.

Josuha Guilavogui:

The 34-year-old only joined Leeds in October after Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev’s returns from injury. But after just 10 outings, the seven-time France star could leave with French side Paris FC eyeing Guilavogui.

Like Firpo, his contract ends in June. With players emerging ahead of Guilavogui after returns from injury, his game time will reduce and he may be tempted to join the latest side to receive RedBull investment.
