Leeds summer signing to pack his bags if Daniel Farke snub continues vs Sunderland
Daniel Farke should look to make changes to his Leeds United starting lineup against Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Stadium of Light will host Farke’s team on 28 December, with the Whites looking to go five games unbeaten in the league.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in red-hot form at Elland Road, but it remains to be seen whether the England international can continue his goal-scoring run at Wearside.
With the winter transfer window set to commence from 1 January, there will surely be loads of speculation linking players with a move away from the West Yorkshire outfit in the coming weeks, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a couple leave.
James Justin wonders what he needs to do for Leeds United start
Leeds signed James Justin for £10million from Leicester City in the summer, but he’s found game time hard to come by in LS11.
The 27-year-old was a regular for the Foxes in the Premier League last season, being handed the captain’s armband at the King Power Stadium.
With the prospect of playing in the English top flight at the Whites, the England international left the Championship outfit, but he may now be regretting his decision and thinking of packing his bags at Elland Road.
Jayden Bogle wasn’t at his best against Crystal Palace, winning just one of his duels and being dribbled past once in his 80 minutes on the pitch.
As per Sofascore, the right-back had 73 per cent passing accuracy in the opposition half and lost possession seven times.
Despite playing in a win-back role where fans expect the former Sheffield United star to have some attacking influence, he had an xA of zero.
Daniel Farke to be worried about another exit at Elland Road
Sebastiaan Bornauw is attracting interest from FC Koln, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the centre-back leave after barely featuring for the Whites.
Farke hasn’t relied on the Belgium international at Leeds, and it seems inevitable that he’ll grow frustrated with his situation in LS11.
The West Yorkshire outfit are in a fierce relegation battle, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to sanction any exits, given that squad depth is certainly pivotal to achieving success this season.
It will be interesting to see how long the German manager can keep players in the periphery of the squad happy as the new year approaches.
