Ex-Leeds man David Norris has recently talked about the situation Tyler Roberts and he expects the Welshman to be more involved soon.

Roberts’ future at Leeds was in doubt back in January, as the Whites had faced multiple enquiries from different clubs for the Welshman. All of those clubs were from the Championship – Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City, Preston North End and Bournemouth.

Derby County were said to have strong interest in him too, but the deal fell through and the Championship side were looking to do the deal in January as well.

Will Tyler Roberts leave in the summer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

In recent weeks though, the Welshman has become a regular part of the team and it’s been much different from the first half of the campaign.

Norris was recently talking to Football Fancast regarding Roberts and he believes that Marcelo Bielsa has a liking for him and we might see more of him soon.

He said: “He’s 22 and has had some really good games in terms of more recently. I’ve heard he’s been a bit unlucky, but in terms of the amount of games he has played, I’d be surprised if he does end up going elsewhere.

“He is only young, Bielsa does seem to have a bit of trust in him, so I think we might see more of him.”

TIF Thoughts on Tyler Roberts…

Since playing one half of football against Arsenal, Roberts has become a regular part of the side for Leeds, having picked up a couple of assists for the team. That might be a reflection of the fact that Bielsa indeed trusts him (As per Transfermarkt).

He has also played in various positions, which shows his versatility as a player. And since Bielsa’s system thrives on versatility, Roberts can add that to the squad. Because of that, it won’t be a surprise to see Roberts hang around the squad.
