Leeds United in pole position to strike Liverpool loan deal for 2023/24 Championship season
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 Leeds United could well be at the front of the queue to sign youngsters from the top clubs in the Premier League.
The Mirror reported on 24 June that Amad Diallo is being looked at as the board plan a quick-fire return to the Premier League.
It’s believed the possibility of a loan move has emerged with there being doubts over Willy Gnonto and Jack Harrison’s future at Elland Road.
The Manchester United sensation is likely to be allowed to leave on loan once more after an exceptional spell with Sunderland in the 2022/23 season.
Robinson believes Leeds’ size means they have a good chance of landing the likes of Diallos on loan during the summer window.
“That’s one thing that Leeds do have in their favour – they’re a Premier League-sized club in the Championship,” Robinson exclusively told MOT Leeds News.
“That loan market with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool willing to loan players out – Leeds are going to be at the front of the queue, so that’s something they can use to their advantage.”
The Ivorian featured 39 times for Sunderland during the 2022/23 season, scoring 14 goals and registering three assists as Tony Mowbray’s side gatecrashed the playoffs on the final day.
