Leeds United Transfer News: 6 Players Who Could Be Sold to Fund Jorgen Strand Larsen's Move (2026)

Leeds United's pursuit of Jorgen Strand Larsen, a Norwegian striker, has hit a snag as Wolves have rejected their bid. The club is now looking to balance its books and fund this ambitious move by considering selling some of its players. Here's a list of six players Leeds could potentially sell to generate the necessary funds.

  1. Joel Piroe: The Championship's top scorer last season, Piroe is a proven talent who could be enticing for other clubs seeking promotion. However, he has expressed willingness to stay and fight for his place, but his position may change if he's pushed down the pecking order.

  2. Ao Tanaka: A fan favorite and standout player in Leeds' promotion charge, Tanaka's future is uncertain. He seems to be overlooked by manager Daniel Farke, who prefers more functional players. A serious offer might be too good to ignore for both parties.

  3. Wilfried Gnonto: The youngest player in Leeds' squad, Gnonto is a lucrative asset. Despite his potential, he has only made four Premier League starts and played fewer than 500 minutes. It's a question of whether Leeds should cash in on a highly-rated young player.

  4. Illan Meslier: Once touted as Hugo Lloris' successor for France, Meslier has seen his stock plummet after a series of high-profile blunders. He hasn't played a minute this season and is considering his options as a free agent in the summer.

  5. Mateo Joseph: Joseph has not ruled out a return to his parent club, but it's unlikely given Leeds' interest in Strand Larsen. A clause in his deal with La Liga club could allow Leeds to recall him, but it's not a guaranteed move.

  6. Largie Ramazani: A La Liga loanee, Ramazani has struggled for playing opportunities. A January recall is possible, but it's unlikely he'll remain with Leeds next season. Finding a buyer for him would be a challenge.
