Bamford followed by 9-goal ace – Three stars Leeds may sell before deadline day
Leeds have been extremely active in the transfer window to date.
Daniel Farke has brought in seven new players, with more new faces expected over the coming weeks.
However, departures are also likely, as the German overhauls his squad, ready for the Premier League.
As a result, MOT Leeds News has highlighted three players who could depart Elland Road before deadline day.
Patrick Bamford
Patrick Bamford has had a successful seven seasons at Leeds United.
The former England international has helped the Peacocks gain promotion to the Premier League twice, and previously had a successful stint in the top flight.
However, after failing to find the net last season, his future at Elland Road looked bleak.

| Appearances | 18 |
| Goals | 0 |
| Assists | 0 |
Now, Farke has confirmed Bamford is no longer in his plans, with a departure looking likely.
A move to the MLS has been touted for Bamford, as he looks to revive his career away from the Yorkshire club.
Brenden Aaronson
Brenden Aaronson played a part in Leeds’ promotion campaign last season, with the 24-year-old netting nine Championship goals.
However, Farke often received stick for picking Aaronson, with the attacking midfielder proving to be inconsistent.
Now, Leeds have brought in numerous players in the US international’s position, which has increased speculation on his future.
With the Yorkshire club now heading into the final few weeks of the window, if a good offer comes in, Leeds surely will accept.
Aaronson’s playing time is likely to dramatically decrease this season, which no doubt makes a sale more plausible.
Mateo Joseph
Mateo Joseph looks almost guaranteed to depart Leeds United this summer.
The Spaniard has struggled to hit any type of form since his move to Elland Road, despite his numerous chances in the first team.
As a result, Joseph is pushing for a Leeds departure, with Real Betis interested in signing the striker.
- Real Betis want Joseph
- Leeds are demanding £10m to depart with the striker
- Unhappy with the situation, Joseph has missed training, attempting to force a move
Joseph has recently missed training and the Germany trip in order to force a move from the Yorkshire club.
While Leeds are rightly unhappy with how the striker is trying to leave the Peacocks, it seems inevitable that a departure will be confirmed over the next few weeks.
