Birmingham close to signing Leeds forward Tyler Roberts - The Athletic 15/6/23
By Phil Hay
Roberts is poised to complete a switch to St Andrew’s after
positive discussions over a fee and a deal including add-ons.
The 24-year-old, who spent last year on loan at Queens Park
Rangers, has one year left on his contract at Elland Road but is surplus to
requirements having last played for the club in March 2022.
Leeds signed Roberts from West Bromwich Albion in 2020 for
an initial fee of around £2.5m but he struggled for form and goals at Elland
Road, making 101 league appearances and scoring just nine times.
United are beginning a major overhaul of their squad after
relegation from the Premier League and Roberts was one of the players they
planned to move on ahead of the start of next season.
