Forshaw exit in January ‘real possibility’ as Leeds transfer news confirmed – pundit
There is a “real possibility” that Adam Forshaw could be sold by Leeds United in January rather than leave on a free next summer.
So says ex-Whites keeper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider after three players left Leeds permanently on deadline day.
This site first broke news that winger Jordan Stevens had agreed to join League Tow Barrow.
Barrow would also later sign Robbie Gotts after Football Insider revealed the club were in advanced talks to sign the 21-year-old midfielder.
And this site was also the first to report that defender Bryce Hosannah was set to join Wrexham.
Like Forshaw, all three players had a year left to run on their contracts at Elland Road.
And Kenny predicts that Forshaw could be offloaded by Leeds in January while the club can still recoup a fee.
“I think there’s a real possibility that he might go in January,” he told Football Insider correspondent Adam Williams.
“If he isn’t pushing for the first team, I don’t see why they wouldn’t try and get something for him before he leaves at the end of the season.
“It’s been difficult for him because we know he’s had his injury problems.
“But unless he comes and does something different and gets a run in the team, I can only see him moving on really.“
Forshaw made his first senior appearance in almost two years in last week’s 3-0 League Cup win over Crewe Alexandra.
The 29-year-old attacking midfielder has been hit with multiple setbacks after suffering a severe hip injury in 2019.
