Ahead of the summer transfer window, Leeds United has placed an advance order to sign a right-sided defender on loan from Chelsea. This summer, Connor Roberts’ return to Burnley after a loan at Elland Road has made the right side of defense a top priority once more. Now Roberts could play the next season against Leeds. In addition, Joe Rodon has left Leeds. While it is obvious that Leeds wants to see the Welshman return to Elland Road, Premier League teams would prefer to work with Tottenham, needing a £10 million transfer fee to sign Rodon.
Luke Ayling has left on a permanent basis, and at the end of this month, Jamie Shackleton will take over. While Sam Byram is still there, Leeds needs a new right-back. and Rodon’s substitute for the upcoming season. Since the end of the season, Leeds has been linked to a number of players, including Chelsea right-back Alfie Gilchrist, who made 17 appearances for the London team under Mauricio Pochettino.Leeds enquires about signing Alfie Gilchrist, a Chelsea star
Jamie Redknapp praised Gilchrist profusely earlier in the season, calling the gifted defender “excellent.” He appears to be heading to The Championship right now to try to get some playing time. Gilchrist would reportedly be eager to join the promotion push to the Premier League and move to Elland Road before the new season began. Gilchrist is capable of playing in the middle or at right back.
