The 26-year-old is attracting interest from Belgian giants Anderlecht.<\/p>\n<p>Roofe was a key figure for Leeds last season. He was the top-scorer with 15 goals as Marcelo Bielsa&#8217;s side narrowly missed out on promotion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the forward may not be the only departure from Elland Road.
