Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has been linked with a move away from the club this month.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Leeds will try to move him before the transfer window closes. The 31-year-old has fought for the regular time of the match in the English club, but he did not find a goalkeeper.
Jacobs said further talkSPORT (January 2): “Patrick Bamford’s exit is something they (Leeds United) want to sort out.”
It is obvious that he is no longer good enough to start for Leeds, and ideally, the player should pass on. He must join a club where he will get regular playing time. A fresh start could be ideal for the 31-year-old forward, and could help him regain his form and confidence.
The player has been linked with clubs such as Wrexham and it will be interesting to see if he wants to move to League One. Bamford has already shown his quality in the Premier League and Championship before. There is no doubt that he is good enough to compete at a high level. However, he currently lacks form and confidence.
Perhaps a move to League One could help him rediscover his form. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Meanwhile, Leeds are pushing for promotion to the Premier League and need to improve their squad this month. They can’t afford to keep their fringe players and it would be ideal to cash in on the likes of Bamford and bring in someone who can help them progress.
Leeds narrowly missed out on promotion last season and will be desperate to return to the English top flight at the end of the current campaign. It will be interesting to see if they find a suitable destination for their players and improve the squad in January.
