Leeds United depth assessed as gaps emerge, Harry Wilson expected to boost left-footed options

Leeds United face a summer of rebalancing after Pascal Struijk’s £20m move to Brighton, with left-sided depth and goalkeeping cover among the priorities. Daniel Farke’s options are light on natural left-footers and certain positions lack competition.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, free agent Harry Wilson is expected to be confirmed soon, which would add a left-footed option in attack.

Struijk’s old berth at left centre-back was already thin, and left wing-back lacks natural cover behind Gabriel Gudmundsson.

In goal, only Lucas Perri is currently under contract. Central midfield looks well stocked but could change amid interest in Shea Charles.

The defensive depth chart highlights Joe Rodon as first-choice on the right side of central defence, with Sebastiaan Bornauw, James Justin and Jaka Bijol as cover.

Bornauw is listed in the central role with Bijol and Rodon behind him, while Bijol leads on the left with Ethan Ampadu as back-up. On the right flank, Jayden Bogle starts at wing-back with Justin in reserve.
