Paul Robinson reacts after hearing who Leeds are close to selling
The 49ers are thought to be in talks.
Leeds United are thought to be close to selling a loanee on a permanent deal despite the transfer window shutting, with Paul Robinson giving his thoughts on the update.
Players to leave Leeds in 2023/24
The Whites had a busy summer following relegation to the Championship last year, with the 49ers Enterprises taking over, Daniel Farke coming in as manager and multiple player incomings and outgoings.
Actually, over the summer, fifteen players left Yorkshire, either permanently or on loan, and more were set to go in January. Luke Ayling left Sunderland to sign a loan with Middlesbrough, while Leo Hjelde moved there permanently. Ian Poveda and Darko Gyabi were both on their way to Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle, respectively.
Nevertheless, there have been rumors that Luis Sinisterra, who is presently on loan at Bournemouth, may be able to finalize a permanent transfer to the Cherries because of the terms of his loan agreement, even after the window closes. According to recent sources, a £20 million agreement is expected to be finalized within the next day or two.
Robinson reacts to Sinisterra transfer update
Former Whites goalkeeper Robinson, who also writes for Sky Sports, stated that Sinisterra has “done really well” with Bournemouth but acknowledged that Leeds hasn’t really missed him in an interview with MOT Leeds News.
He and [Justin] Kluivert have performed admirably at Bournemouth when given the chance, in my opinion. They have played behind the main striker. The most important thing from Leeds’ perspective is that they haven’t missed him despite his adaptation to the move.
“You look at the Leeds side, at Gnonto, at Summerville, the way Gnonto’s playing at the minute with two goals in his last two games.”The biggest thing from a Leeds perspective, given how they’re playing this year, is that, while they’ve allowed [Sinisterra] to go out on loan with an eye toward a permanent, if they end up in the Premier League, as most of us Leeds fans hope they will [next season], there may be a discussion about whether there’s room in the squad for him.
“When you look at the players Leeds have got in those areas, in Summerville, James and Gnonto then do Leeds actually need him? They’ve proved this season that they haven’t really missed him, truth be known.”
Therefore, if Leeds can bring in £20m+ for Sinisterra soon, you could argue that it’s a good deal for all parties
