Leeds Accept Joe Gelhardt Has No Future as Hull Looks Set to Move for Permanent Deal
Leeds will test the transfer market to maximise a fee for the 24-year-old following his successful loan spell.
Overview
- Multiple outlets reported in early June that Leeds view Joe Gelhardt as surplus and are prepared to let him leave the club this summer.
- Gelhardt scored 15 goals and supplied six assists for Hull City during his loan, producing 21 goal involvements that helped secure the club’s promotion to the Premier League.
- Hull City are positioned to press for a permanent signing after promotion, with club officials publicly stating their desire to keep the forward.
- Leeds plan to survey wider interest and assess what clubs will pay before agreeing a deal, with one report putting an asking range around £3 million to £5 million.
- Gelhardt, 24, wants regular Premier League football and is expected to seek a quick resolution; no official transfer has been announced and talks may unfold through the summer window.
