Carlos Corberan to make it easy for Leeds United to sign Jayson Molumby as West Brom exit news emerges
A lot will change at Leeds United this summer as the Whites prepare for their first Championship campaign in a while.
And those changes will take place from the boardroom to the pitch, with many players expected to come and go and a new manager needing to be appointed.
The Whites will definitely struggle to bring in players from the top European leagues given their current predicament, meaning they might need to look closer to home to help find the right personnel to get them back to the big time.
And that recruitment could begin as close as West Brom, with both manager Carlos Corberan and midfielder Jayson Molumby linked with switches to Elland Road.
The former’s future at The Hawthorns is in doubt as the Whites consider hiring him after a release clause in his contract emerged.
The Spaniard’s Albion contract contains a £2million clause that would allow him to leave, according to the Daily Mail (1 June).
Molumby meanwhile is also wanted by the Elland Road outfit this summer, with the midfielder available this summer, according to The Sun journalist Alan Nixon.
Hiring Corberan would definitely be a positive step in the club’s Molumby pursuit, with the midfielder completely revitalising his career under the Spaniard.
The Republic of Ireland international was not the player he is today before Corberan’s arrival at The Hawthorns, both for club and country.
Concerning the latter, Molumby is now a standout, with the 23-year-old a central part of Stephen Kenny’s plans going forward.
With Corberan in the Elland Road dugout, Leeds will have a manager onboard who knows exactly what is needed to gain promotion to the Premier League, with star midfielder Molumby definitely in with a strong chance of following his boss to Yorkshire.
In other Leeds United news, Tottenham are in talks to sign one Whites player that Victor Orta admitted is too good for the Championship.
