Leeds supporters have been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride since Marcelo Bielsa guided the club to Premier League return, shocking the big clubs in the first season, and then losing momentum. Marcelo Bielsa had to go, Jesse Marsch had a one-year guest appearance, Javi Gracia even shorter and Sam Allardyce for a few games. Then Daniel Farke was brought in, the German led the proud club back to the PL last season, which started slowly, but to safe survival in the Premier League in 14th place. Now it is reported that Farke is losing one of the key players, who has been part of the entire journey since Bielsa,
It’s about Pascal Struijk. The Dutchman joined Leeds way back in 2018, has 196 appearances for the club and has helped the club return to the Premier League twice. The 26-year-old is a player Farke does not want to lose. Nevertheless, now it is reported that the centre-back is on his way to England’s 8th best club with a Conference League ticket.
