Leeds United are unlikely to restart contract talks with Liam Cooper until the turn of the year, The Athletic’s Phil Hay has reported.
Leeds United signed defender Cooper was back in 2014, bringing the former Hull City man in from Chesterfield. Since then, he’s had an Elland Road career full of ups and downs, playing 270 times for the Whites and becoming club captain along the way.
Question marks surrounded his future over the summer as he entered the final 12 months of his contract. That combined with admiring glances from Saudi Arabia made for some uncertainty but ultimately, he stayed put.
Now, an update has emerged on his contract situation with Leeds United.
Reporting for The Athletic, trusted journalist Phil Hay has said that after contract discussions were shelved due to a foot injury earlier this season, it is unlikely that talks will resume until the turn of the year. Then, Leeds United are more likely to give Cooper a definite answer on his situation.
