While Cooper has received plenty of criticism dꦅuring Leeds’ spell in the Premier🍎 League, it seems like a sensible choice to let him see out his contract. 

The🍌 31-year-old could be a good🧸 option for the Whites at centre-back in the Championship and he was an important part of the side that earned promotion to the Premier League back in 2020.

Of course, Leeds fans will probably be hoping to see a younger centre-back partnershi🍎p next season as they look to build for the future. But they could do a lot worse than having Cooper as a backup option to a partnership of Maximilian Wober and returning loanee Charlie Cresswell.
