YEP journalists Graham Smyth and Joe Donnohue provide an update on Connor Roberts' future and potential Elland Road return.

Transcript

00:00a few rumors dotting around over the weekend and at the beginning of the week which suggested that

00:06Conor Roberts might be returning to Leeds. Our understanding is a little bit different I feel

00:13and certainly it's not imminent if there are talks you know taking place. I think the situation at

00:22Burnley with Scott Parker coming in, I get the impression that he'll first of all want to assess

00:29the squad and while they do have several options at right back, they've just signed a new right

00:36back from from PSV Eindhoven, I do kind of get the impression that he might, Parker this is,

00:42might want to keep someone with the experience of Roberts around. I haven't spoken to a couple of

00:46people close to the club and close to the player. It doesn't sound like anything's imminent right

00:54now. I know you have to caveat everything in a transfer window with subject to change because

00:59who knows what Scott Parker might decide. Actually no, he can go but as it stands right now,

01:07there's nothing imminent for Conor Roberts at Leeds United. From Burnley's point of view,

01:13why would you do something that your direct promotion rival believes strengthens their case

01:20above yours? If I was Burnley and I was, if Conor Roberts wanted to go and I was open to that,

01:25I'd be dealing with everyone but Leeds United. I wouldn't be doing a single thing to help Leeds

01:30United this summer because I think that they are the two sides most likely to challenge.

01:36And also you were saying about, you know, everything in the transfer window is subject to

01:40change. I mean, earlier this year when there was obviously whispers that Roberts might be coming

01:46to Leeds, earlier in the January transfer window, having spoke to people who were ultimately close

01:51to the deal, they informed us that nothing was imminent and that there hadn't been approaches.

01:56And then having then spoken to Roberts upon his signing, he actually did confirm that right at

02:02the beginning of the January window, conversations were held. So again, it's just about sort of

02:07reading between the lines and yeah, we'll see how these things pan out. But yeah, as we say,

02:13you know, nothing imminent at the moment.
