According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United may consider a second loan for young player Cian Coleman, although he may potentially decide to leave permanently.
Leeds United is constantly searching for young players, and their management style has come to represent LUFC.
From players like James Milner and David Batty to Kalvin Phillips and, more recently, Crysencio Summerville, who was signed by the U21s from Feyenoord, it has been a familiar sight at Elland Road.
The senior squad’s playing style is used to coach players, and this tactic has helped attract younger players. They are now capable of fitting into the senior group at Elland Road and are prepared for the first team.
Among such prospects is Cian Coleman, a defensive midfielder. The Irish U19 international was raised at the West Yorkshire giants and was born in nearby Pudsey.
After the young player returned from a successful loan at National League North team Buxton, Yorkshire Evening Post reporter Joe Donnohue claims that Leeds United is now prepared to decide on his future.
With a contract that only lasts until the conclusion of the current season, it is reported that a new loan will probably be investigated. However, if a deal works out for everyone, he may also see a permanent departure approved.
Coleman is planning a new move.
In October 2024, Coleman first signed a one-month loan agreement with Buxton. This was then prolonged until January 8th, when he was recalled.
Coleman displayed glimmers of his talent while he was with the Bucks. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder made 12 first-team appearances for Buxton this season after playing five Premier League 2 games for the Leeds United U21s.
The child attracted attention with a string of steady performances during these 12 appearances. These outings led to two assists and four goals, including a hat-trick against Scunthorpe United.
Is it the right thing to do?
When young players’ current contracts are coming to an end, Leeds United does let them go.
This can be done by finding them a loan that works for both of them or by negotiating a long-term agreement that frequently results from a successful loan.
Cian Coleman has demonstrated that he can move from a U21 squad to a first-team setup with his comeback for Buxton. That is demonstrated by his assists and goals.
A team lower in the EFL that is searching for a defensive midfield lynchpin who can stabilize the middle of the park might benefit from Coleman’s transfer. The young LUFC player’s versatility in moving into the center of midfield with attacking impact is one advantage of signing him.
When it comes to keeping young players, Leeds United has rarely been egotistical or petty; instead, they frequently find them to be reasonable transfers. As they have done for others, they ought to do the same for Coleman.
In a sense, LUFC supporters might be anticipating this to occur, and it would be the moral thing to do.
