Leeds United<\/a> forward Largie Ramazani has not travelled with the squad for their clash against Arsenal<\/a> on Saturday evening, according to Graham Smyth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Whites have had a busy summer transfer window and Daniel Farke<\/a> has been able to add a number of forward players to the squad in Lukas Nmecha, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor joining alongside Wilfried Gnonto, Daniel James, Jack Harrison and Joel Piroe as options.<\/p>\n

That has left limited space in match-day squads for the manager to select them all, and it has now emerged that Ramazani has been left at home for the upcoming clash with the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Ramazani, who Smyth described as a ‘difference-maker’, moved to Elland Road from La Liga last summer in a deal worth around \u00a310m and helped the team earn promotion back to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

But it now looks as though his future could lie elsewhere this season, with Smyth revealing on his X account that there is no indication of whether the player is injured or not, but admitted he would be the most likely candidate for a late departure this summer if Farke wanted to trim down his squad.<\/p>\n

“Hearing that Largie Ramazani hasn’t travelled with the squad. No idea if there’s an injury.<\/p>\n

“Of the wingers he would be the likeliest to attract interest. Would be a shame if he went. Difference maker, on the ball at least. See what Farke says.”<\/p>\n

Leeds started their season with a 1-0 home win over Everton thanks to a controversial late penalty from new signing Nmecha, who came off the bench, but have since signed Okafor from AC Milan, while Calvert-Lewin has another week of training in his legs.<\/p>\n

With Harrison also an option with plenty of Premier League experience, it looks difficult for Ramazani to secure a place in the squad going forward, which could see him moved on in a deal that suits all parties.<\/p>\n
