ut it is not the one that Leeds fans want, in the form of 28-year-old Roberts joining Leeds. Instead, it comes in the form of CJ Egan Riley. The young defender has joined PSV until the end of the season.
Burnley have announced the loan on Twitter and perhaps it is a sign that they are going to start posting some exits on social media, in order to confirm the deals. But nothing has been said about Roberts.
Indeed, with little over two hours left to run in the window, nothing has been confirmed and knowing Leeds – fans are worried. Even Joe Rodon’s brother has sent Roberts another message on Twitter.
Roberts is not the only player to be linked with a move to Leeds on deadline day. Leicester’s Harry Souttar, Newcastle United’s Paul Dummett, Everton’s Mason Holgate and Forest skipper Joe Worrall.
But Roberts is the only one that looks like he is going to end up at Elland Road on deadline day – however, nothing has been announced yet, even with Burnley announcing exits on their social channels.
