Joe Gelhardt's future, Leeds survival could trigger exit as Hull push to keep him | OneFootball

Leeds’ Premier League battle will shape Joe Gelhardt’s next step, with the on-loan striker shining at Hull City and a permanent move under consideration.

According to Leedsunited.news, Hull want to keep him beyond his loan and the division Leeds are in is likely to be the key factor.

After limited chances at Elland Road under Daniel Farke, the forward has flourished at Hull, helping them avoid relegation last season and becoming central to this year’s push. They sit just outside the automatic promotion places.

Hull’s sporting director Jared Dublin has suggested the division would determine whether a deal is feasible, and he has also stressed a desire for continuity within the squad.

If Leeds stay up, Gelhardt could move on, with the club potentially cashing in after three loans. If they drop to the Championship, his record at that level could be invaluable. Both clubs will monitor his form as Leeds fight for safety and Hull chase promotion.
