Leeds United striker Kemar Roofe is attracting interest from Belgian side Anderlecht, according to the Daily Mail.

The side managed by Vincent Kompany isn't the only club who have been in acquiring the services of the Whites' striker. Scottish side Rangers were also keen on signing Roofe earlier this summer.

The striker currently holds his future in his own hands, with the 26-year-old in the last year of his contract at Elland Road. Marcelo Bielsa will be keen to keep Roofe at the club, who was a big part in helping Leeds United reach the playoffs at the end of last season.

If they fail to win promotion in this upcoming season, Roofe may look to depart the West Yorkshire club in a quest to play in a higher tier.

There's no doubt that this would severely dampen the mood at the club, after such a productive transfer window. This has included the loan signing of Helder Costa, which will become permanent next summer.

The club will be hoping that Roofe will sign a new contract with the club to cap off a fantastic transfer window at Elland Road.

Here are two pros and two cons to Leeds United selling Kemar Roofe in this transfer window.

Pro: Funds to afford Petagna?

Leeds United have been strongly linked with SPAL striker Andrea Petagna in this summer transfer window, reportedly having an eight-figure fee rejected for the 24-year-old Serie A striker.

With the EFL's profit and sustainability rules in mind, Leeds United may not be able to afford to put in an increased bid for Petagna. However, the potential sale of in-demand Roofe could see the club raise their bid for the Italian.

This could be a very shrewd chain of decision making from Leeds. This is especially with Roofe in the last year of his contract and Petagna scoring 16 goals in Italy's top flight last season, playing against the likes of Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan.

Pro: Better to sell him now as opposed to letting him go for free

Even though Roofe is a valuable player that the club would ideally like to keep as they look to gain automatic promotion to the Premier League this season.

However, the club would be foolish to let a player of his calibre go for free next summer, something that they could barely afford to do with financial rules now implemented and stricter than ever. An example of where this has gone wrong is Aaron Ramsay's free transfer to Juventus from Arsenal earlier on this summer.

With the money that they could receive for Roofe this summer, it could allow the club to make additional signings in this window to give them the best chance possible of winning promotion.

Con: Losing a top goalscorer 

Kemar Roofe was top scorer for the Yorkshire side in the last campaign, netting 16 times for the club in the Championship. Even though this wasn't the most impressive total for a club that came third in the second tier, his goals and performances were vitally important.

Fellow Leeds United strikers Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts failed to get themselves in and amongst the goals regularly themselves, which increased the dependence on Roofe. Will this be obvious next season if he does leave the club for Anderlecht?

This might be the case and Leeds United will have under a week to find a replacement for the 26-year-old, who's performed well for the club ever since his move from Oxford United for a deal worth around £3m back in July 2016.

Con: Could damage promotion hopes

If Leeds United are to keep world-class manager Marcelo Bielsa beyond the end of the upcoming season, it's likely that they will have to achieve promotion to the Premier League. This season has the ability to be make-or-break for the club.

If they are promoted to the Premier League, the finances of the club will also be boosted, which will allow Bielsa to make the signings he needs in order to get the club competing well in the top flight. This is the best-case scenario.

A worst-case scenario could see Bielsa leave the club after agonisingly missing out on promotion from the Championship once again in the 2019/20 season. To boost their chances of promotion, they may need to keep 26-year-old Roofe.
