Leeds United have opened talks with Fulham over the potential sale of midfielder Adam Forshaw, according to a report by Football Insider.

The 27-year-old made 32 appearances for Leeds last season, as the Whites just missed out on promotion from the Championship.

Leeds have opened preliminary talks with Fulham and would be looking to sell the midfielder on a permanent transfer.

Forshaw joined Leeds from Championship rivals Middlesbrough for £4.5million in January 2018 and still has three years remaining on his contract at Elland Road.

Fulham manager Scott Parker is looking to put together a team that will challenge for promotion next season, following relegation from the Premier League last season.

The Verdict

Forshaw still has three year remaining on his contract at Elland Road, so Leeds are in a strong position when it comes to negotiations with Fulham and they will probably want to recoup the £4.5million they spent on him just 18 months ago.

He’s a really good player at Championship level and it will be a shame for Leeds to lose him, but in reality, it’s not the end of the world. I think it’s far more important that they keep hold of Kalvin Phillips.

If Forshaw is to leave Leeds this summer, a club who will be expected to challenge for promotion next season like Fulham would be a good option for him.

Parker will be looking to build a team that can challenge for automatic promotion and he could do a lot worse than an experienced player like Forshaw.
