# Leeds: Tyler Roberts linked with Newcastle move

**Leeds United attacker Tyler Roberts has been linked with a summer move to Newcastle United, with his future at Elland Road up in the air.**

### The Lowdown: Handy squad player

The Whites have enjoyed an excellent season back in the Premier League, with Marcelo Bielsa easily ensuring that they remain in the top flight for 2021/22.

Roberts has proven to be a handy squad player, making [14 starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/280771/Show/Tyler-Roberts) in the league and 25 appearances overall in the competition, registering two assists.

### The Latest: Newcastle keen on Roberts

According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9584071/Newcastle-monitoring-10million-rated-Leeds-forward-Tyler-Roberts-despite-long-term-deal-offered.html), Newcastle are ‘monitoring’ Roberts’ current situation, with his current deal [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyler-roberts/profil/spieler/296986) at the end of next season.

It is claimed that Leeds have offered the 22-year-old a new contract, but that hasn’t stopped the Magpies from potentially lining up a move for the Wales international.

### The Verdict: Keep hold of attacker

While Roberts may not necessarily be an indispensable figure at Elland Road, he is an exciting young player with [13 international caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyler-roberts/nationalmannschaft/spieler/296986/verein_id/3864), hence Leeds’ offer of a new deal.

Bielsa needs to plan for the future and the Welshman can be a big part of that, maturing over time and becoming a more complete footballer.

Allowing him to leave this summer would be a risk, given his possible ceiling – his former manager Tony Pulis [believes](https://motleedsnews.com/matchday/all-the-tools-tony-pulis-heaps-praise-on-roberts-after-wales-cameo/) he has ‘got everything’ as a player – so Leeds should ignore any interest coming his way.
