Daniel Farke appears to have already settled on his Leeds United back four for the season. Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, and Junior Firpo have started all four matches together so far, with Leeds keeping clean sheets in the last three. There were some doubts about Farke’s decision to keep Ethan Ampadu at centre-back after his impressive performance with Rodon in the second part of the season. Despite Struijk’s absence, Farke made it obvious that the Dutchman will be an important part of Leeds’ future, and his return has been nothing short of seamless. With Ampadu securely back in…
Leeds United placed a release option in their deal to recruit Georginio Rutter in 2023, and Brighton triggered it for £40 million two weeks before the transfer window closed. Since their relegation from the Premier League, Leeds’ transfer windows have been dominated by provisions in important players’ contracts. Initially, there was a wave of loan exits negotiated by players who did not want to stay at the club in the EFL, and this summer, it was the turn of release provisions in top players’ contracts. The 49ers’ Georginio Rutter ruse has failed following The Athletic’s Leeds United transfer announcement. Georginio…
Liverpool normally keeps their cards close to their chest in the transfer market, and they have proven throughout the years that they will not be compelled to spend significant money. Federico Chiesa was the lone player to visit Anfield during the summer transfer season, while the Reds did negotiate an agreement in principle to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia in 2025. Other players, such as Martin Zubimendi, were linked with Liverpool, but a move never occurred since he chose to stay with his childhood club. Jonathan Tah is another player who has strong admirers at Anfield, with Bayern Munich also…
Nottingham Forest’s 2024/25 season has gotten off to an excellent start, with five points already on the board. As the international break continues, Nuno Espirito Santo has been given the opportunity to reflect on the first three league games. This follows a busy transfer window in which numerous players have come and gone from the City Ground in recent months. However, there are still some windows that did not close last Friday as they did in England, with transactions still ongoing. And there has just been one confirmed elsewhere which has seen Forest finally part ways with a player Steve…
The international break came at the wrong time for Leeds United, who appeared to be gaining momentum in the Championship. Before the international break, Daniel Farke’s side thrashed Hull City at Elland Road. Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe scored goals to secure the win. The victory wasn’t the only takeaway from the game; a handful of Leeds United’s new additions shone. Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani shone brightly, and the former even contributed an assist. Many believed that Crysencio Summerville’s departure would have a significant impact on Leeds’ creativity in the last third, but Farke found a way. A key…
According to WalesOnline, Joe Rodon “stood up” for Wales in a solid performance while on international service. WalesOnline rated the centre-back an 8/10 after Friday’s Nations League goalless draw. They also stated that Rodon “rattled” Turkey forward Baris Alper Yilmaz in the first half, despite missing a “great chance” in the early moments of the game. The feeling was echoed by Y Clwb Pel-Droed in their own ratings (6 September), with Rodon receiving an 8/10. They stated the Leeds player “won everything that came near him” and, alongside Tottenham’s Ben Davies, limited Turkey’s chances on goal. Joe Rodon Wales’ accolades…
France lost 3-1 to Italy in the Nations League, with Ibrahima Konate starting. Ibrahima Konate faced a terrible evening as France lost to Italy in the Nations League. After missing Euro 2024, the Liverpool defender returned to the starting lineup for Les Bleus. Konate did not make a single appearance when France advanced to the semi-finals of the competition in Germany earlier this summer. However, after starting the 2024-25 Premier League season in impressive form, helping the Reds win all three games without conceding a goal, the 25-year-old was given a chance from the start when France faced Italy in…

On their return from the international break, Leeds United will welcome Burnley at Elland Road. Despite huge summer exits for both, Leeds and Burnley are many people’s favourites for automatic promotion this season, with both already in the top six. Between now and the game in seven days, Leeds has several players away representing their nationalities. Daniel Farke will be hoping that everyone returns to full fitness, given the potential importance of the game and how injuries to Wilfried Gnonto, Connor Roberts, and Ilia Gruev before the March break wrecked their promotion bid last season. So, with that in mind,…
