Sport nationLeeds United youngster Charlie Crew is expected to join Joe Gelhardt in departing the club on loan this month. According to journalist Darren Witcoop, Hull City is close to signing Gelhardt on loan after he underwent a medical on Sunday. Meanwhile, Crew is also set to leave on loan, with a temporary move away from Elland Road having been mooted for the teenage Welshman prior to the season.
The loan moves for Gelhardt and Crew come as Leeds United looks to trim its squad and provide opportunities for its younger players to gain first-team experience. However, with the club also facing interest in Patrick Bamford and other players, there are concerns that the squad may be getting too small.
Leeds United currently occupies the top spot in the Championship, but maintaining a strong squad depth will be crucial to the club’s promotion hopes. While Crew may not be an immediate solution to the club’s depth issues, his departure on loan will further reduce the options available to manager Daniel Farke.
On the other hand, a loan move for Crew would be beneficial for his development, providing him with the opportunity to secure regular first-team football away from Elland Road. Leeds United still has time to make signings in the transfer window, but the lack of noise from the club on incoming deals is growing increasingly concerning for fans.
In other news, Leeds United has been linked with several transfer targets, and the club is reportedly close to agreeing on a deal for one player. Meanwhile, some of the club’s players have been discussing their goals and aspirations for the season. With the transfer window still open, Leeds United fans will be eagerly watching to see how the club’s squad shapes up for the rest of the season.
