In the eyes of Paul Robinson, Patrick Bamford’s potential departure from Leeds United in January depends on one key factor.
As per a conversation with MOT Leeds News, the former England international is of the opinion that Bamford will only leave Elland Road if he actively pushes for a move.
Despite still being on the Whites’ roster, Bamford has seen limited playing time under manager Daniel Farke, partly due to injury setbacks and the emergence of other strikers like Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph.
With rumblings of Joe Gelhardt being courted by other clubs in the upcoming transfer window, a shift in the forward department could be on the horizon for Leeds. If Bamford were to follow suit, reinforcements would be needed to bolster the team’s chances of a Premier League comeback.
Robinson believes that unless Bamford expresses a desire to leave, a winter transfer is unlikely and a decision on his future may be made in the summer instead. It remains to be seen whether Farke and Bamford will come to an agreement on staying or parting ways as the January transfer window approaches.
