# Leeds: Robbie Gotts set to sign new deal

**Leeds United youngster Robbie Gotts is set to sign a new contract at Elland Road this summer, according to journalist Beren Cross.**

### The Lowdown: Gotts impresses for Salford

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Salford City, making [23 appearances in League Two](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/368291/Show/Robbie-Gotts) and being [hailed](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-news-robbie-gotts-19685982) as ‘outstanding’ by Richie Wellens.

It will have been an invaluable temporary spell away from Leeds for Gotts, who is now back at Elland Road ahead of pre-season next month.

### The Latest: Youngster to sign new deal

According [*Leeds Live*](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-ryan-edmondson-exits-20798708) journalist Cross, Gotts signing a new deal is ‘the most likely avenue’ currently, with his Whites contract [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-gotts/profil/spieler/534698) next summer.

It is also stated than another loan move next season looks on the cards, with first-team opportunities difficult to come by under Marcelo Bielsa.

### The Verdict: Loan moves makes sense

The fact that Leeds are seemingly willing to extend Gotts’ stay suggests he is viewed as a long-term prospect, although he will have to bide his time for now.

Another season in a lower league will see the midfielder mature further as a player, hopefully returning an even more well-rounded figure in 2022.

If Gotts were to stay at Elland Road in 2021/22, it is more likely that his progress would be stunted, with Under-23s football likely coming his way. A long-term deal and loan exit makes sense for all parties.
