BREAKING NEWS… Joe Gelhardt Leeds United exit latest as Hull City weigh move amid wage concerns
- Joe Gelhardt’s future at Leeds United remains uncertain as the club continues to assess possible exit options before the transfer window closes. Hull City have emerged as a potential destination for the forward, although reports suggest the Championship side are being cautious about the financial demands involved in any deal.
The 22-year-old has found regular first-team opportunities hard to come by at Elland Road, and a move away could suit both player and club if Leeds are looking to streamline the squad. Gelhardt is still highly regarded for his pace, movement and versatility in attack, which has helped keep interest in him alive despite his limited minutes.
Hull are understood to like the player, but wages could become a major obstacle. Unless Leeds are prepared to contribute to his salary, the Tigers may struggle to make the numbers work. That means any potential agreement is likely to depend on the structure of the deal, with a loan or subsidised move appearing more realistic than a straightforward permanent transfer.
Leeds are expected to consider other interest as well, while Gelhardt’s representatives weigh up the best option for his development. With time ticking in the window, the situation could move quickly, but Hull’s stance suggests financial compromise will be key.
