Joe Gelhardt has excelled with Hull
He has established himself as a key player for the Tigers, and he wants to play regularly at this stage of his career. Returning to Leeds United does not make much sense for him. He is unwanted at the Premier League club, and he will want to sort out his long-term future quickly. The player has a year left on his current contract with Leeds, and the Premier League will hope to recoup a reasonable sum from his departure in the upcoming window.
Meanwhile, the player is well settled at Hull City, and the Tigers will be delighted that he wants to continue with them. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on a deal that benefits them.
Leeds could use funds from Gelhardt sale
Leeds United are fighting for survival in the top flight, and they are 15th in the league table. Even though they are four points above the drop zone, they cannot afford to be complacent now. They will need to perform at a high level in order to guarantee their place in the Premier League next season.
They will look to further improve the team in the summer, and selling players like Gelhardt will bring in funds to fund quality additions.
