Leeds hero with 266 appearances set to leave the club this summer.

Leeds United has already made a choice regarding Luke Ayling, thus the team will allow the contracts of the two to expire this summer.

Luke Ayling has said an emotional goodbye to Leeds as he begins the last few months of his Whites contract. He is now on loan at Middlesbrough, a Championship team. But along with a number of others, other important players like promotion heroes Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas also have contracts that are about to expire.

Football Insider now reports that the club are poised to bid farewell to both Sam Byram and Dallas in the summer when their contracts expire.

These two, who have a combined 440 club appearances, stand out among the ten players who could be going. Dallas hasn’t played since sustaining a femoral fracture in April 2022, but Byram signed a one-year contract with the Whites after making an impression on Daniel Farke, his former Norwich City boss.

Another definite departure is German defender Robin Koch, who is presently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, Ian Poveda, who has enjoyed his time on his loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday, is likely to leave the club if the Yorkshire achieve promotion back to the Premier League.

Club legend Liam Cooper, having made 282 appearances for the Yorkshire side, may be another player that departs Elland Road this summer.
