Burnley would be open to cashing in on Connor Roberts according to the Daily Mirror with Leeds to make move.
Rumours circling around Elland Road suggest the 28 yo is keen on a move to West Yorkshire having fallen out of favour at Turf Moor. The majority of his eight starts this season occurred much earlier in the season, and if truth be told, his form was awful, affording him a miserable 6.00 Whoscored rating; but at least he’ll be fresh.
The 28yo was one of the first names on the Clarets team sheet last season, but has failed to even make the bench in recent times. He’s close friends with fellow Welsh International Joe Rodon. This should at least make his settling in period easier.
If a deal is to be done, it will happen quickly. Burnley want to reinvest in new players, and the clock is ticking…..
A massive gamble?
It’s looking increasingly likely that Connor Roberts will be a Leeds Utd player before the end of the month, but is it a calculated gamble worth making? The 28 year old was one of the first names on the Clarets team sheet last season, but his form has undoubtedly dropped since then; he’s even failed to make the bench in recent times!
Farke will be pinning his hopes that Roberts will rediscover his mojo, and help Leeds to a top two finish come May. Should Leeds be setting their sights a little higher than a Burnley reject or will Farke unearth an absolute bargain?
