Leeds United to dispose Junior Firpo in summer as transfer sale verdict emerges – Sky Sports pundit
We’re delighted to welcome former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Leeds United…
Paul Robinson has suggested Junior Firpo could leave Leeds United this summer despite his upturn in form under Javi Gracia.
The 26-year-old’s performances have improved of late with the former Barcelona man starting nine consecutive Premier League matches.
Despite his improvement, Robinson can see him departing Elland Road in the summer if Leeds look to sign another left back.
“I can see him leaving in the summer. You don’t need three left-backs because you don’t need three left-backs,” Robinson exclusively told MOT Leeds News.
“Pascal Struijk can play there, he will be around next year because he’s a versatile player.
“He can play anywhere across the back and holding midfield and has played a lot of the season at left-back.
“They don’t need Firpo, Struik and another left back, if they bring another player in, it will be at the disposal of Firpo.”
Gracia’s side have the chance to move into twelfth position with a win over Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon (9 April).
Firpo will be looking to prove the doubters wrong against the Eagles after he registered an assist during the 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest.
In other Leeds United news, the club are about to spend six figures to land an attacking signing ahead of a host of big rivals.
