This group of players are set to leave Elland Road in the summer of 2024
Having been relegated from the Premier League last season, Leeds came back down to the second tier of English football with a group of players that, on paper, sat right near the top of the Championship.
They managed to keep some of their better players from the 2022/23 campaign, like Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James, as well as bringing in players like Ethan Ampadu and Joel Piroe.
They’re positioned well in their pursuit of top tier football, but, if they don’t achieve promotion, they’re going to be losing some key players for free at the end of the 2023/24 campaign. That will make life a lot harder for them next time round.

Jamie Shackleton
Ian Poveda
Lewis Bate
Bate spent last season on loan at Oxford United in League One. That may be where his future lies, as he played a majority of their league games last season, and he’s only been used in the under-21s side since his return to Yorkshire.
The 20-year-old is the youngest of the senior team players to have their contracts expire at the end of the season, but he’s not shown himself to be a true prospect like Archie Gray has.
