I’d be surprised if we sent Ozoh out on loan without renewing his contract first - the two usually go hand in hand.

Lerma has never been skillful or classy, but his physical courage and commitment has been very useful over his time with us. He's been a valuable part of our success.
He's been a shadow of his former self recently. I doubt that's age catching him up, 31 is no age at all these days. Perhaps he's a bit less inclined to fly into headers and tackles if the club have said he's not staying. Perhaps he's a bit less motivated now it seems clear he's not in Glasners first choice XI. There used to be a lot of questions asked about the commitment of South American players at European clubs in the months before a world cup. They were suspected of saving themselves for international duty. Perhaps it's that.
In any event, if he goes then it's another senior squad space that needs filling, along with the one left by Kamada. If we can get a free transfer replacement then fine, but otherwise these things need transfer fees. That could be a problem.
