QPR, Hull and Birmingham among several Championship clubs monitoring Leeds forward Tyler Roberts over possible loan deal for Wales international

Several Championship clubs are interested in signing Leeds' Tyler Roberts

Leeds may allow the 23-year-old Wales international go out on loan next season

Roberts played 23 times in the Premier League but mostly from the bench

Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts is drawing interest from a number of Championship clubs after they were alerted to his availability.

QPR and Hull City made enquiries for the Wales international last week and Leeds may now be willing to let him out on loan with view to a permanent deal next summer.

The interest from QPR has triggered a response from other Championship suitors who, up till last week did not believe the 23-year-old would be allowed to leave Elland Road.

Now Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town have all joined the chase for the skilful frontman.

Last season the Welsh international played 23 times in the Premier League but only seven of his top flight appearances were starts.

He injured his hamstring in March which ruled him out for a large part of the campaign but he underwent successful surgery and was fit and available for the crucial last game of the season against Brentford but was left on the bench.

Roberts has 19 international caps to his name and could be looking for more first-team football ahead of the World Cup in November, Wales' first appearance at the tournament since 1958.

He joined Leeds in 2018 from West Brom's reserves and has previously played for Walsall, Shrewsbury and Oxford United. 

Leeds are also looking to offload right-back Jamie Shackleton to Reading while centre-back Charlie Cresswell is wanted by Millwall on loan.

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

Leeds United full-time apology, wantaway man's tunnel appearance and off-camera Villarreal moments — YEP 3/8/25

By Graham Smyth The YEP’s verdict and off-camera moments from Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Villarreal at Elland Road in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly. Leeds United are edging closer to a Premier League return with just one more friendly left to play now that a 1-1 draw with Villarreal is in the books. It was far from a thriller at Elland Road but there were positives to take, particularly for two individuals involved in the Whites goal. It was far from a good day for others, however. Here's the YEP take on Leeds' battle with LaLiga opposition. Good day Joel Piroe Another game, another goal. The Dutchman knows where the net is and with no new number 9 in the door yet, Piroe has put together a good case to start up top against Everton if the need arises. Lukas Nmecha has also looked sharp but Piroe's status as the club's best finisher appears to remain untouched. It helps that he came back for pre-season in such good shape too, because he wil...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
