Former Leeds United keeper Paul Robinson has admitted he expects a huge turnover of players at Elland Road this summer as the club prepares for another year in the Championship.
Daniel Farke’s men had been expected to be in the mix for promotion following his appointment last year, and that’s exactly what happened, as the Whites pushed Leicester City and Ipswich Town all the way.
| Championship standings 2023/24 | ||||
| Team | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City (C) | 46 | 48 | 97 |
| 2 | Ipswich Town (P) | 46 | 35 | 96 |
| 3 | Leeds United | 46 | 38 | 90 |
| 4 | Southampton | 46 | 24 | 87 |
| 5 | West Brom | 46 | 23 | 75 |
| 6 | Norwich City | 46 | 15 | 73 |
However, despite collecting 90 points, Leeds would have to settle for the play-offs, and after overcoming Norwich City over two legs, they would suffer heartbreak at Wembley as an Adam Armstrong goal was enough to send Southampton up.
Leeds United set for busy summer window
Failure to win promotion was always going to have implications, as Leeds will need to comply with the PSR rules in the Championship as they gear up for another year without the riches that come with the Premier League.
Naturally, player sales will follow, and it has already been claimed that the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto could be among those moving on.
Paul Robinson makes Leeds United transfer claim
But, speaking to Football Insider, Robinson revealed that he has heard that it could be an incredibly busy summer for the Yorkshire side, with wholesale changes taking place.
“There have been whispers that at least 20 players could leave Elland Road this summer. You look at the likes of Cody Drameh, and Stuart Dallas is obviously going to be moving to the coaching staff.
“Contracts and loan deals are coming to an end for Poveda, Byram, Rodon, Shackleton, Anthony, Roberts, Ayling and Cooper. It’s going to be a really huge summer for Leeds to rebuild. The first thing is they are going to have to cut their cloth accordingly.
“But they are going to have to take stock of what they are going to lose, how much they are going to bring into the club, what they can get for the players out on loan.

“It’s hard to say what positions they are going to need because you don’t know what players are going to be around. It’s going to be a very difficult summer for Daniel Farke balancing the squad. There are going to be a lot of outgoings and incomings.
