Leeds United set for ruthless summer after Tyler Roberts transfer news, further exits coming
Leeds United have endured various struggles on and off the pitch in recent times, with the two intermingling this season as the club were relegated from the Premier League.
It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone associated with the Whites, but it wasn’t exactly a surprise.
The club had been flirting with relegation for quite some time, with their fate finally sealed on the final day of the campaign.
The relegation will have multiple consequences, one of which will be the sale of several players that either don’t want to remain at the club, or who are deemed not good enough to help fight for promotion next season.
It is uncertain which category Tyler Roberts is in, but the 24-year-old is no longer a Leeds player after Birmingham City announced his signature on Wednesday (21 June).
The 24-year-old looks certain to be one of many players to leave the West Yorkshire outfit this summer as they prepare for life in the Championship.
And his exit could represent one of many involving players that once held a key role at Elland Road, with Roberts making 108 appearances in white, with his honours list including the Championship trophy in 2019/20.
Leeds need to be ruthless when it comes to transfers this summer, both in terms of incomings and outgoings, and the exit of Roberts shows that there won’t be much love lost between the club and a handful of players who do leave Elland Road in the coming months.
The past is the past, and the future is the future, with the present very much the most important issue at Leeds right now.
