Leeds represent a bin Elland Road dud who earns twice as much as Summerville
Leeds United know, as well as dealing with the exits involving their star players this summer, that the off season is also a great opportunity to remove the wood that is still lurking in the camp.
Jack Harrison looks set to return on loan to Everton for the second year in a row to relieve everyone at Elland Road, while Daniel Farke and Co now look to Maximilian Wober's future in Leeds white.
Having played for Leeds for a short time during their relegation campaign, having been hurt by experience by joining mid-season, Wober will be another club that will look to offload him soon.
That may be tricky selling, however, considering his recent dreadful performance against France in the ongoing Euros.
What is Wober's future at Leeds
Roy Keane, speaking on ITV at half-time of Austria's 1-0 defeat to Didier Deschamps, was not impressed with Wober's own goal to break the net for his nation, calling it 'really poor' defending, his stock falling as a direct result of this bad piece of luck.
Wober was equally poor in terms of points during his short spell at Leeds, compiling two clean sheets in 16 appearances for the West Yorkshire side, before moving on loan to Borussia Mönchengladbach after the collapse.
Wober was outstanding in the Bundesliga last season, far from struggling for Farke's men back in England, collecting two goals and three assists, but Leeds are reported to be asking for £12.5m in an attempt to make the deal permanent. the other has become a stumbling block on the German side.
Leeds could do with some more defensive reinforcements next season with Joe Rodon gone, meaning Wober's return and fight for his place could be helpful, but his previous big salary for Leeds will also be a concern, with the Austrian dud earning two. times more than Crysencio Summerville when he plays in the Premier League.
Wober's salary at Leeds
According to Capology, Wober was earning £35k-a-week at top-flight Leeds in 2022/23, while Summerville, before his big Championship campaign, was earning a paltry £15k-a-week.
Wober's weekly wages in the relegation season will still see him earn more than the Dutchman's electricity here and now, sitting on a paltry £15k-a-week wage, despite the Player of the Year winner racking up a ridiculous 31 goals. , only for his team to enter the last leg of the play-off final.

With Summerville now eyeing a return to the Premier League away from Leeds, Wober could be staring the end of his career at Elland Road in the face, instead, with the Austrian defender only £15k-a-week not coming in. the top five earners in Farke's camp, despite being pushed to one side on loan.
Harrison, who is set to return to Goodison Park, ended up earning an attractive £90k-a-week deal while still being a vital cog in West Yorkshire, with Leeds looking to take him off their books permanently down the line.
With Harrison leaving, Leeds could be stuck with Wober if they can't find a suitor willing to take him on, and the Austrian went down as a big part of the Whites' transfer market, when he was bought for £11m. just last year.
