Leeds United may have to be ruthless when it comes to deciding who stays and who goes this summer.
Since the 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Championship play-off final 10 days ago, much of the focus has been on who could be leaving Elland Road when the window opens.
Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray are just two of the players who have been attracting the most interest so far, with Leeds knowing that some key men will have to depart.
However, chairman Paraag Marathe has been pretty bullish in his insistence Leeds will have a squad ready to push to go one better when August rolls around.
Though that will include funds for new players, it will also have to mean being firm in telling some who, perhaps see their future at a higher level, they won’t be going anywhere.

Following the lucrative sponsorship deal agreed with Red Bull, as well as the potential sales of the returning loanees, Leeds certainly aren’t in a position where they have to sell everyone this summer.
Championship POTS Summerville certainly feels the most likely to move on, with a reported price tag of £30 million set by Leeds.
