NafisaSunderland Set to Take Chance on Sam Greenwood as Leeds United Plan Exit – Exclusive
As Leeds United gear up for their Premier League return, the focus at Elland Road is split between new signings and offloading players who don’t fit into manager Daniel Farke’s plans. The recent confirmation of Jaka Bijol’s arrival highlights their recruitment drive, but several players are expected to depart, with Sam Greenwood among those likely to leave.
Greenwood, who spent last season on loan at Preston, is not anticipated to feature in Farke’s squad for the upcoming campaign. The young forward, who began his career at Sunderland before stints at Arsenal and Leeds, could now be in line for a return to his roots. According to the *Daily Mail*, Sunderland are keen to secure a deal for Greenwood, offering him a chance to revive his career.
Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson, speaking to *MOT Leeds News*, endorsed the potential move, describing Greenwood as a “top young player” who deserves a shot at the highest level. Robinson noted that while Greenwood might have had a breakout season at Leeds had they remained in the Championship, Farke’s reluctance to rely on him in the Premier League makes a transfer logical. He called Sunderland’s interest a “slight gamble” given Greenwood’s lack of top-flight experience but believes it could be an excellent opportunity for the player to prove himself.
With Greenwood almost certainly surplus to requirements at Leeds, a permanent move this summer appears inevitable. The forward will likely prioritize a destination where he can secure regular playing time. While Sunderland’s interest is concrete, other clubs are also expected to compete for his signature, leaving his next move up in the air.
