Leeds moved back to top of the league with their victory over Sunderland on Monday night, teeing up a mouth-watering clash with Sheffield United this coming Monday.
His brace against the Black Cats, the opener against Sheffield United in October, his opener against Ipswich Town last season, and even the last-gasp equaliser against Brighton in May ’22 to help Leeds stay in the Premier League – all examples of the centre-back being capable of dragging his side through important results.
Replicating that against the Blades on Monday night would be perhaps his biggest yet, giving Leeds a victory that pushes them even closer to promotion back to the Premier League.Last week, Farke noted that discussions over what happens in the summer are hard to really pin down due to the club not knowing what division they are going to be in for 25/26.
Of course, committing to a handful of new long-term contracts would be ideal to secure these players’ futures, but finances would only allow for it if the Whites are a Premier League club once more.
That being said, one of the players that might need some consideration in the near future is Struijk, having penned a five-year deal back in 21/22 to keep him here until 2027, he’s entering the final two years of that deal from July, and might be becoming vulnerable to offers if Leeds don’t act.
