# Leeds: Robbie Gotts likely to move on

**Leeds United youngster Robbie Gotts has been tipped to leave the club this summer, with Marcelo Bielsa not seeing him as part of his plans.**

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Salford City, having [moved](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55677960) to the League Two club in January, affording him more regular first team football.

Gotts’ current Leeds deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-gotts/profil/spieler/534698) at the end of next season, raising question marks over what the next chapter in his career will be.

### Gotts could leave Leeds, claims Hay

According to [*The Athletic*](https://theathletic.com/2503105/2021/04/09/leeds-united-mailbag-bielsa/?source=user-shared-article&redirected=1)‘s Phil Hay, the youngster is unlikely to convince Bielsa to be part of his future plans, with a move elsewhere appearing to be on the cards:

> “He’s \[Gotts\] a lovely lad and a good player but I got a distinct impression that he suspects his future lies elsewhere. Bielsa always keeps his leading under-23s close to him. He’d rather they trained at Thorp Arch than played elsewhere on loan.
>
> “This naturally concludes that anyone who is allowed to leave on loan is a fair distance from his plans.”

Gotts has managed [three appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-gotts/alletore/spieler/534698) for Leeds to date, making his debut [away to Arsenal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50976532) in the FA Cup third round in January 2020.

### Transfer Tavern take

In truth, it makes sense for all parties for Gotts to find a new permanent club moving forward, with the midfielder once described as [‘excellent’](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-news-robbie-gotts-19806638) by Richie Wellens.

If Bielsa can’t guarantee him a regular squad role, he risks growing stagnant in his career, so being a key man at a different club makes far more sense.

Leeds are now at a level where they are a mid-table Premier League club with aspirations of improving further – Gotts doesn’t appear to be at that standard in Bielsa’s eyes.
