Leeds United need to drastically overhaul their squad if they want to stay in the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 transfer window up to this point has left the majority of supporters underwhelmed, with a lack of significant quality brought in at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whilst the signings of Sebastiaan Bornauw and Lukas Nmecha have provided valuable depth to Daniel Farke\u2019s squad<\/a>, they are not the calibre of players to keep the Whites in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Jaka Bijol is the type of signing United should be looking to replicate<\/a>, as it instantly improves their starting XI.<\/p>\n But, it is not only incomings that they should be focused on, as MOT Leeds News<\/strong> have highlighted three players Leeds should sell this summer.<\/p>\n It may sound brutal, but if players of Aaronson\u2019s calibre are featuring for Leeds regularly in the Premier League<\/a>, then their chance of avoiding relegation is minimal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The American midfielder was nothing short of abysmal last time Leeds were in the top flight, and even disappointed at Championship level for the majority of last season after a promising start.<\/p>\n Aaronson was lacklustre as Leeds were relegated.<\/p>\n If Farke changes his system to no longer accommodate a number ten due to the Whites<\/a> likely being on the back foot in most games, then Aaronson will be even more surplus to requirements.<\/p>\n With Leeds spending around \u00a325million on the 24-year-old back in 2022, it is unlikely they will recoup anywhere near that amount, meaning a sale could be detrimental to the club\u2019s PSR.<\/p>\n However, if Leeds could facilitate a loan move away with an obligation to buy, this could suit them better.<\/p>\n Illan Meslier to be shown the door<\/strong><\/p>\n Meslier blew United supporters away when he made his debut in January 2020 against Arsenal in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n However, since then, the 25-year-old shot stopper\u2019s stock in West Yorkshire has plummeted after multiple disappointing seasons.<\/p>\n Last campaign seemed to be the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back, with the Frenchman being dropped for Karl Darlow at the backend of the season after a truly disastrous run of form.<\/p>\n With the Whites being linked to the likes of Milinkovic-Savic<\/a>, Meslier\u2019s days at Elland Road look numbered, and funds from his sale could be reinvested into the squad. <\/p>\n If Leeds want to stay in the Premier League, there must be no room for sentiment.<\/p>\n Despite Bamford being at the club for seven years, relying on him to contribute next season would be a costly decision for the 49ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ever since Bamford\u2019s remarkable 2020\/21 Premier League campaign that saw him called up to the England squad, it has been a hard crash back down to reality.<\/p>\n His trademark poor finishing and injury issues have plagued him for the past four seasons now, as he looks to be a player past his sell-by date.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old has struggled to nail down a starting position ever since Farke took over, with the forward only being limited to 17 appearances off the bench last season.<\/p>\n Bamford struggled to make an impact for Leeds last season.<\/p>\n![\"Jaka](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jaka-bijol-1024x576.jpg\")
