Bamford finished at Leeds after private talks with Farke
Patrick Bamford’s time at Leeds United is coming to an end.
Bamford was absent from Leeds United’s pre-season opener with Manchester United, leaving questions over his future, not for the first time.
The 31-year-old has been on the fringes of the squad ever since the arrival of Daniel Farke, and has failed to showcase his worth when given the chance.
It has been assumed that Leeds would be looking to offload him this summer, with a new update on his future, and it spells bad news for him.
Bamford set for Leeds exit
Bamford’s future has been up in the air at Leeds for several seasons now, with injuries and a lack of goal threat providing the biggest concerns, though that seems set to change.
That is because Farke is believed to have told Bamford that he is no longer in his plans at Leeds, and will not be a part of the squad for their return to the Premier League [Graham Smyth].

The striker was linked with an exit in the winter, though it failed to materialise, and it seems as though he will be pushed out of the door at Elland Road in the coming weeks.
Getting his wages off the books will be a priority for Leeds, who have already been searching for his replacement in the transfer window.
49ers must accelerate transfer plans after Bamford update
Signing a striker capable of scoring goals could make or break Leeds’ season in the Premier League, and it needs to be done soon.
The Whites will make their return to the Premier League in under a month, and are yet to address the two biggest concerns that emerged ahead of the summer window.
Signing a striker and a goalkeeper need to be the next two steps for the 49ers, ahead of what will be a crucial few weeks.
