Gabby Agbonlahor<\/strong> has insisted Leeds United will have to be “strong” to keep their best players at the club in the January transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, suggested the Whites should promise wantaway stars they will be allowed to leave next summer if promotion cannot be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeds sit fifth in the Championship despite losing a number of key stars in the summer window, including Jack Harrison<\/a>, Luis Sinisterra and Tyler Adams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The January transfer window is on the horizon and several members of Daniel Farke’s side, such as Willy Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray, have already impressed this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeds have won their last two games but already trail runaway Championship leaders Leicester City by 11 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whites face off against the Foxes on 4 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agbonlahor told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Ewan Kingsbury: \u201cIf you want to get promoted, you have to be strong and keep hold of players.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven if there are Premier League offers on the table and the player wants to go, then you have to be strong.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEspecially if that player has done well for you in the first six months of the season. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t then let them go, because that derails the push for playoffs or automatic promotion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Leeds\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve got to be strong. It\u2019ll be easier said than done.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Leeds have to say no, and if necessary, let them go in the summer if they aren\u2019t promoted back to the Premier League.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
