Patrick Bamford transfer exit news embarrassing after what he did at Leeds United
Patrick Bamford could be set to wave goodbye to Leeds United with relegation potentially sealing his fate in West Yorkshire, according to a report from Salernitana News.
The Italian outlet has claimed that the Whites are interested in Salernitana’s Boulaye Dia, who could come in to replace the former Middlesbrough striker.
Bamford was responsible for a glaring, gilt-edged miss from point-blank range in the 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Monday night at Elland Road.
That moment could significantly impact Leeds’ fate, as they fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
After such an agonising, unbelievable miss, the last thing that the fans will want to read about is a potential transfer out of the club for the 29-year-old.
If the club is relegated to the Championship, it won’t be because of that one individual moment but what a difference it could have made.
With the net gaping, a 2-1 victory would have meant a four-point lead over the Foxes and the drop zone (as they would have stayed ties on points with Everton) but the reality dictates just a two-point advantage over 18th place as things stand, with the Toffees having a game in hand.
Five games remain for the club’s Premier League status to be secured with plenty on and off the pitch at stake, depending on the outcome.
It will be far from straightforward, it never is with this club, but just two home fixtures are set to follow against Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively, with away days scheduled against Bournemouth, Manchester City and West Ham.
It is a daunting climax to the season and every opportunity needs to be taken to Leeds’ advantage, not like that horror miss from Bamford that left him and thousands of fans inside Elland Road stunned in disbelief.
