Leeds United are now preparing for a Championship season, but who are they expecting to welcome back from loan spells.
The Whites are on the lookout for a new manager, and their summer transfer plans will likely depend on who they decide on. The managerial search will take centre stage at this point, but Leeds can look forward to getting a number of talented players back from loan spells, and while some will be kept around, others are likely to be offloaded.
Here we take a look at the 13 players Leeds will get back when those respective loan deals expire.
1. Jack Jenkins
Jenkins featured sparingly for Salford during his loan spell, and he could be set for another loan spell, or he could be sold if Leeds aren’t convinced he has a future at the club.
2. Stuart McKinstry
McKinstry feaured regularly for Motherwell last season. He could well be set for another loan spell.
3. Alfie McCalmont
Now 23 years of age, it’s likely McCalmot will be sold after a loan spell with Carlisle, where he won promotion.
4. Leo Hjelde
Hjelde is still only 19 years of age, and he is likely to get another loan spell, likely in the bottom half of the Championship.
5. Lewis Bate
Bate is likely to be sent out on loan again next season after he returns from Oxford United.
6. Helder Costa
Costa is currently on loan with Al-Ittihad , and he is not likely to return, at least not for good.
