Leeds United have secured Premier League safety this season and will look to improve the team during the summer transfer window.

They will hope to establish themselves as regulars in the top flight. They need more quality in the team, and they should look to get rid of the underperformers in the summer as well. According to a report from Leeds Live, five players could be on their way out of the club in the summer.

Facundo Buonanotte has had a disappointing loan spell at Leeds United, and he is set to leave the club in the summer. He has struggled to get into the match-day squad this season, and it is clear that Daniel Fake does not trust the 21-year-old. It would be ideal for him to move on and join a club where he will get more opportunities.

Goalkeeper Karl Darlow is set to leave as well. His contract will expire in the summer, and Leeds United have not yet agreed on a new contract with the player. The 35-year-old is in the twilight stages of his career, and the Premier League should look to bring in a younger alternative.

Meanwhile, Striker Joel Piroe has been linked with a move away from the club for quite some time. He has struggled to secure regular opportunities, and he needs to move on to play more often. He has not started a league game for Leeds United since August. He was an excellent player for Leeds in the Championship, and he should look to join a club where he can rediscover himself.

Wilfried Gnonto has also struggled for regular opportunities at the club this season. The 22-year-old is at a stage of his career where he needs opportunities. Sitting on the bench at Leeds United would be detrimental to his development.

Sam Byram is another player who could be on the move. He has played just 85 minutes of first-team football all season, and Leeds United has no reason to keep the defender at the club.
