So consistent.”Leeds United need to keep their best players if they want to establish themselves as regulars in the Premier League. They cannot afford to sell one of their best players in the summer. Ampadu has been an indispensable asset for them and Leeds must do everything in their power to convince him to stay at the club.The player has just one year left on his current contract, and the Whites must sort out the situation quickly. Multiple clubs will be monitoring his situation, and it would be quite unsurprising if there are offers for him in the summer.Leeds need to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window, but keeping their key players will be just as important. The fans will hold onto their best players beyond this season.The post ‘So consistent’: Journalist fuels speculation over Leeds star’s future appeared first on CaughtOffside.
