Luca Thomas, the 20-year-old forward currently on loan at National League side York City, faces an uncertain future at Leeds United, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2024. Leeds confirmed on Tuesday that Thomas’ loan at York City has been extended until January, but with his performances at York showing little to suggest he will break into Leeds’ first team, his long-term prospects at Elland Road look bleak.
Although Thomas has impressed at times for York, scoring once, playing in the National League at his age does little to advance his development for a future in the Championship or Premier League. At 20, time is running out for him to make a significant impact, especially given the depth of talent in Leeds’ forward line, where he faces stiff competition from other players of similar age.
Leeds United may face a difficult decision in January regarding Thomas’ future. If his performances at York don’t take a significant upward turn, the club could look to offload him in January, possibly seeking a financial return for the player. With his contract expiring in the summer and limited opportunities at Leeds, a departure seems likely.
In related news, a Supercomputer has also been used to predict Leeds United’s chances of promotion, though it’s unclear how much the future of players like Thomas will affect those projections.
