Firpo's defensive abilities still a cause for concern says White

Firpo is currently set to leave Elland Road as a free agent this summer following the expiration of his contract, with speculation over his future intensifying as the 2024/25 season came to an end.

Leeds published their retained list to the EFL on Saturday afternoon and in it, confirmed they 'remain in discussions' with the 28-year-old and Sam Byram over a possible extension.

A tally of four goals and 10 assists during Leeds' title-winning campaign would suggest Firpo was the Championship's best left-back but the step up to Premier League football is huge.
