Leeds United may have to bring in a new striker this summer if they lose Kemar Roofe. The 26-year-old is out of contract in 2020 and isn’t close to putting pen to paper on a new deal. Roofe was linked with a move to Newcastle in January and may be considering his options after the Whites missed out on promotion.
If the uncapped Jamaican does depart Elland Road, Dwight Gayle would be an excellent replacement. The £40k-per-week Newcastle striker was a standout performer during last season’s loan spell at West Bromwich Albion, scoring and creating 32 goals in 40 Championship games, and could easily fill Roofe’s shoes at Leeds.
