The Championship club confirm the ‘brilliant’ midfielder will now leave for free and Leeds United are interested

Leeds have three first-team players themselves in such a situation, with Liam Cooper, Jamie Shackleton and Cody Drameh all having unsigned contracts on the table.

As it stands, it looks like they will all move on, with Shackleton close to a deal with another club, Cooper showing interest from elsewhere and too much water under the bridge for Drameh to sign.

However, with no confirmation of either of their decisions, Leeds have so far been unable to announce they have been officially released, unlike potential target Daniel Farke.

Coventry City confirm Callum O’Hare’s decision

Leeds appear to be in the market for new midfielders this summer, with Archie Gray on the verge of a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Glen Kamara is also wanted by Ligue 1 side Rennes, while Ilia Gruev has been linked with Borussia Dortmund earlier, although he looks set to stay.

Despite the return of Brenden Aaronson, another number 10 wouldn’t go amiss either, and one player who has been linked is Callum O’Hare.

O’Hare is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Championship after scoring nine goals in all competitions last season on his return from a serious knee injury.

And Leeds’ hopes of signing him have just received a major boost, with Coventry City officially confirming he has left the club on Monday afternoon.

This means ‘genius’ O’Hare is now on the market as a free agent, although Leeds will certainly not be without competition for his signature.

With Joel Piroe wanted abroad, Leeds need additional competition

As mentioned, Leeds have already acted to address the number 10 deficit, taking the decision to welcome Aaronson back into the fold.

However, over the course of a 46-game season, Aaronson alone won’t be enough, and additional competition is needed in that role.

Joel Piroe spent much of last year in the role following his arrival from Swansea City, but he is actually already attracting interest from abroad.

Given that he has struggled to fit into Farke’s system, selling him could be a wise move. It would free up some extra funds for Leeds to bring in another proper 10 and nine rather than trying to put Piroe in the side.
