Ex-EPL striker, Chris Sutton has come out to raise concerns about whether Leeds will be able to avoid relegation next season if they lose Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Raphinha and Philips have been Leeds‘ best players in recent years, so it’ll be very difficult to avoid relegation without them next season.
Chris added that Leeds United supporters should be very worried about how their team will fare from August after barely avoiding the drop months ago.
His words, “What about Kalvin Phillips from Leeds to Manchester City, where does that leave Leeds?”
“Their best two players look like they are away. Jesse Marsch came in and he kept them up. But that’s not a good look.”
“They are going to have to do some recruiting themselves, Leeds.”
“That was a legitimate criticism (on Leeds not bulking up the squad). Bielsa liked to work with a small and thin squad. They got away with it last season.”
“But if you are a Leeds fan, you are thinking “blimey, our two star men are off. How are we going to stay in the Premier League next season?”
