Daniel Farke will stick it out in the Whites managerial dug-out regardless of what personnel lines up for the first game, hoping to add another promotion to his CV up from the second-tier as boss, after being agonisingly close last campaign, before Southampton spoiled the Leeds party at Wembley.
The centre-back spots are just one position that could look very different in West Yorkshire when a first ball is kicked to start the 2024/25 season, with Joe Rodon back at Tottenham Hotspur for the time being after being a star under Farke, whilst there could also be some exits from this spot on the pitch too who are permanently attached to the Whites.
Charlie Cresswell’s future very much hangs in the balance, and with reports suggesting a number of suitors from Europe are eyeing up the forgotten 21-year-old, the reserve figure could finally feel wanted again at a new employer soon, after being chucked to the Leeds periphery for the majority of last campaign.
The latest on Charlie Cresswell’s future at Leeds
There would have been anticipation in the air that when Cresswell returned to Leeds last summer – fresh from a formative loan stint at Millwall – that this would finally be his moment in the spotlight for his boyhood Whites.
Proving himself to be a nuisance for the Lions by netting an unexpected five goals, even whilst operating as a resolute centre-back at the Den, Cresswell would unfortunately never get his Leeds senior career up and running on his arrival back to West Yorkshire, with just seven appearances gifted to him by Farke across the full campaign.
