Report: Jesse Marsch has still not decided whether to keep or loan out Leeds 22-year-old

Leif Davis could leave Leeds United on loan this summer, but he could also yet be kept around by Jesse Marsch.

The say that Marsch has not yet decided what to do about the 22-year-old’s future during the pre-season tour.

Junior Firpo has an injury now, which means that Leeds could yet need to dip into the transfer market for a left-back.

The former Barcelona man endured a tricky first season at Elland Road and has now suffered a setback ahead of the second one.

Leif Davis could leave Leeds on loan

And that has handed Davis a potential opportunity to impress ahead of Marsch’s first full season in charge at the club.

Last season’s loan spell with Bournemouth did not go to plan, and he will be hoping to have a fresh start this time around.

Davis could join Ipswich on loan, and the League 1 club have put an offer on the table that Leeds are mulling over currently.

It might be a risk for Marsch to start the season with Davis at left-back, but it depends if the Raphinha money stretches to a striker and a new left-back.

Earlier this month, he said: “We’re hopeful that it’s a little bit faster because Junior healed really, really quickly last time after the MCL injury.

“We’re looking very closely at Leif Davis and we think he’s done really well. We have also other solutions, like Pascal and potentially Jack [Harrison],” he said, .
