# Leeds: Adam Forshaw expected to leave

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) midfielder Adam Forshaw is expected to leave Elland Road this summer, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leeds-united-expected-to-let-adam-forshaw-go/).**

### The Lowdown: Leeds career

Forshaw was actually the club’s [most expensive signing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/alletransfers/verein/399) since the 2001/02 season when he arrived in Yorkshire from Middlesbrough at a cost of €5.1m (£4.5m) in 2018.

Since then, the 31-year-old has made [84](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-forshaw/leistungsdaten/spieler/121257) appearances for the club but has missed far more of the action with a number of [injury issues](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-forshaw/verletzungen/spieler/121257).

He has featured in just [157](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-forshaw/leistungsdaten/spieler/121257) minutes of [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) action this season, with his last appearance coming on New Year’s Eve against Newcastle.

### The Latest: Forshaw’s future

[FI reporter Wayne Veysey](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leeds-united-expected-to-let-adam-forshaw-go/) shared an update on Forshaw, who is out of contract at the end of the current campaign.

He said that the Whites have the option to extend that by a further 12 months, however, that looks unlikely and the club are expected to let the player go.

### The Verdict: Right call?

Forshaw has had a frustrating few years with injuries, whereas Leeds have bolstered their midfield ranks over the last 12 months by signing Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie.

They also have Darko Gyabi coming through the ranks at Thorp Arch, so parting ways with Forshaw appears to be the right decision.

Whether or not Leeds will be a Premier League side in the summer remains to be seen, but hopefully, Forshaw, who shares the same [agency](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wasserman/beraterfirma/berater/440) as McKennie and Brenden Aaronson, will have no trouble in finding a new club with a number of Championship sides [keen](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/adam-forshaw-transfer-latest-championship-leeds/) on his services towards the end of 2022.
