Following his contract extension, former loanee Connor Roberts congratulated Leeds United star Sam Byram on Instagram. With a picture of himself catching West Brom defender Darnell Furlong with an errant elbow, Byram shared on Instagram that he had activated a one-year contract extension clause. A fan of Byram’s who shared that specific photo on social media, Roberts congratulated him on the news of his contract extension while he was on loan at Elland Road from February until the end of the season. “Samuel, sir, congrats! The third photo is so much fun.”

Could Connor Roberts make Leeds United return?

Leeds is limited in their ability to negotiate high-profile deals for some of the players who played on loan last season due to their inability to advance from the Championship, losing 1-0 to Southampton at Wembley despite Roberts’ late appearance. According to Football.London, Joe Rodon, who made 50 appearances across all competitions, is the Whites’ top transfer target. He is expected to leave Tottenham this summer.

A permanent signing by the Peacocks this summer is unlikely, mainly because of Burnley’s relegation, even though Byram triggered an extension in the one-year contract he signed last summer.

As the Clarets won the league with over 100 points in 2023, Roberts earned a spot in the PFA Championship team of the year, and Burnley would be smart to add him back into the fold in their attempt to jump back up quickly.

This, along with Byram’s extension, Leeds’ intention to hold onto Archie Gray, and Rasmus Kristensen’s rumored return to Elland Road from Roma, suggest that the Whites won’t need to look for a right-back option for the upcoming campaign [Corriere dello Sport].

A deal struck by the San Francisco 49ers with the devil has plagued Leeds United continuously, according to other Leeds United news.
