Bamford ‘finished at Leeds’ as multi-million transfer news emerges
Leeds United are expected to do plenty of business during the transfer window, with signings are departures likely.
Premier League football is back at Elland Road after a fantastic campaign.
Daniel Farke is now tasked to keep the Peacocks in the top-flight and become the first promoted team in three years to avoid the drop.
Leeds will reportedly have over £100 million to achieve this feat, with targets already lined up.
However, Patrick Bamford’s Leeds career is now surely over due to the latest transfer news coming from Elland Road.
Willem Geubbels transfer would be the end of Patrick Bamford at Leeds United
Bamford has been woeful for Leeds this season.
Despite the Yorkshire club winning the Championship title with 100 points, the Englishman did not even manage to score a single goal in 17 appearances.
As a result, there is little hope that the 31-year-old would be able to make the step up back to the Premier League.

A summer exit from Leeds looks likely for Bamford this summer, with numerous clubs linked.
However, the striker’s departure is now likely to speed up after the Peacocks’ recent transfer market moves.
It is believed that Leeds are set to sign Willem Geubbels, who has netted 14 goals in the Swiss Super League this season.
If this transfer goes through, it will surely spell the end of Bamford’s stay at Elland Road.
Farke is unlikely to keep Bamford for him to simply rot in the reserves, as the striker would then be nowhere near first choice.
With just one year left on his deal, this summer is the last chance Leeds have to make some money on the 31-year-old, and now this looks almost certain to happen.
Farke needs to get rid of Leeds’ dead weight
With the Premier League just months away, Farke now has an opportunity to rid himself of the players who clearly won’t make the jump.
As good as some of these stars have been over the years, Leeds must be ruthless in getting rid of the Yorkshire club’s deadwood.
Bamford should be top of this list, as if he can’t score in the Championship, he will be useless in the Premier League.
Hopefully, Farke is given the freedom to make these decisions over the next few months.
