In light of all of that, the YEP has examined some of the most recent reports pertaining to the club.
Reports on Firpo contracts
As the season progresses, speculation about Junior Firpo’s future will grow, but he may be willing to stay in West Yorkshire longer, according to reports. According to TEAMtalk, if Firpo becomes a free agent in the summer of 2020, he would be open to signing new terms with the team but already has a perfect move in mind.
Firpo, who is nearing the end of his Leeds contract, is one of two first-team players who must make a decision on their futures soon, along with Sam Byram. Having already provided Joel Piroe with a fantastic assist, the 28-year-old is poised for another significant season at Elland Road, where he had his greatest year to date.
As Firpo’s contract expires and a new one is signed, developments surrounding his future will undoubtedly pick up speed; nonetheless, the source indicates that an extension of the left-back’s tenure in Ls11 is possible. But if he were freed, his most likely course of action would be to go back to Spain.
Bamford’s allegation denied
Deeney said to talkSPORT, “I think he has forgotten five years have passed since those guys were being spoken about,” in response to Bamford’s name being mentioned. “Everyone is playing their role and is a very good player.” However, to advance England beyond their current state.
“Those folks aren’t at the top of the list going forward, in my opinion. Give them a call if we were having trouble, but not just now. It would be more likely that I would call Ivan Toney. Pat Bamford is a sweet young man who struggles with staying in shape.
Troy Deeney has dismissed an odd theory that Patrick Bamford might take Harry Kane’s spot as England’s top player. TalkSPORT analysts speculated about a number of players, including the Leeds striker, as they anticipated life after the former Tottenham player.
