Elland Road, Leeds, Britain - October 23, 2022. Leeds United's Jack Harrison reacts.
Leeds United trio Robin Koch, Illan Meslier and Jack Harrison will all leave this summer if the Whites suffer relegation from the Premier League.
The Lowdown: Whites battling relegation
The Elland Road faithful are experiencing another taxing season in the top flight, having avoided a return to the Championship by the skin of their teeth last term.
Leeds find themselves hovering above the relegation zone as the business end of the campaign arrives and results need to improve hugely in order to pull away from the drop zone.
Going down would clearly be a disaster for Javi Gracia‘s side and an exit update has now emerged.
The Latest: Trio planning to quit
According to Football Insider, Koch, Meslier and Harrison will all move on at the end of the season if Leeds are relegated, in order to remain at a higher level.
They are already ‘planning to quit’ and find a new club if Championship football comes the Whites’ way.
The Verdict: Disappointing
In truth, it would be no great surprise to see Koch, Meslier and Harrison all depart if Leeds are relegated, considering the trio are all arguably too good to be playing in the Championship.
That being said, the hope is that they all knuckle down and ensure that doesn’t happen in the same way Raphinha did, with all three of them not having their best season individually.
Koch has picked up five yellow cards in the league and been part of a defence that has conceded comfortably more than a goal per game, and the same applies to Meslier in that respect.
Meanwhile, Harrison hasn’t offered anywhere near enough in an attacking sense, scoring just once in 23 league outings, so he needs to find another gear.
